May 29, 2015 - PRLog -- Exuberant even when turned off, the richness of the light issuing from the Discocó lamp provides direct downward illumination along with a dramatic play of lights and soft shadows.

Its detailed study of incident light and light that bounces off of both sides of the 35 disks provide the lamp with an appealing gradation of light nuances and depth. Further reflections dance off the chrome-covered sphere at the core, where the disks are anchored.

When the light is turned off, it retains its attractive presence, hinting at the expansion of energy that is fully expressed when it is turned on.

Two new tones, beige and gray, have been added to the existing color range, this time with a matte finish. A new 26” diameter is also available, making a total of five sizes to cover a host of applications.

Discoco Pendant Lamp Features
Opaque disks made in molded abs. Chrome sphere. Translucent electrical cord.

About the Designer
Christophe Mathieu - His name is French and he was born in Germany, but his Spanish accent points to the Canary Islands, where he grew up. He reached Barcelona in the mid-1980’s to finish his degree in interior design. Soon afterward he headed to Milan, where he discovered industrial design collaborating with the architect Marco Zanuso jr. in the development of products for companies such as De Padova, Menphis and Driade; the architects Roberto Menghi y Giulio Crespi; the industrial designer Sergio Coppola and the architect Antonio Zanuso in the prize-winning project  for the Piazza della Republica. His time in Milan had a profound effect on him.
