Xi Table Lamp
DESIGNED BY Neri & Hu
FOR Poltrona Frau
In Chinese Xi means "light of dawn", but also "in praise of wisdom". And when the lamps designed by Neri & Hu are illuminated, their soft, full light evokes the early morning sunlight. The project aims to convey a culture of light based on the awareness that the start of any day is like the beginning of life, infused with positivity and a sense of rebirth.
The Xi collection consists of two hanging lamps, one small and one large, and a table lamppace, like lanterns: a mysterious and suggestive presence. This light and essential contemporary design combines traditions of an eastern flavour with the leather culture of Poltrona Frau and skilful Venetian masters’ art of blown glass.
