Riscio

Joe Colombo’s Riscio Lamp from 1967 has a light, friendly and modern expression, where the triangular shade seems to almost float of the cylindric base.
Riscio is introduced in three timeless colours; dark red, white, and midnight blue, that will fit in numerous settings, from private homes to public spaces. It casts a fairly strong light and comes with an integrated touch-based dimmer in the top.

‘Riscio’ is the Italian word for ‘rickshaw’, and the lamp was Colombo’s nod to Asian heritage and culture. Italian icon, Joe Colombo (1930-1971) believed in democratic and functional design. Flexible and convertible furniture and objects, intended to be used in many different ways – all to the benefit of the user. He experimented with new materials and the latest technologies and designed ‘machines for living’, many of which have become icons for a new way of living.
