A Magnetic Metal Ball Is the Secret To This Designer Lamp’s Flexibility

Move over Luxo . Giulio Iacchetti has designed an incredibly flexible table and floor lamp that would put Pixar ’s mascot to shame . And like anything awe-inspiring , the Magneto ’s capabilities come fromthe power of magnet .

In this compositor’s case , a magnetic steel ball serves as an infinitely pivotable joint , link up the direct light seed — which look not unlike a flashlight — to a rotating base at almost any angle .

A serial of pregnant chad on the base ’s upright weapon system stop the ball from just drift all the way down , while the power cable extends and retract depend on how much slack is required . Both versions of the lamp will be available fromFoscarini , with what I assume will be a co-ordinated gamey - end designer price shred . [ Giulio IacchettiviaMoCo Loco ]
