Carraglia’s collaboration with Davide Groppi and his studio has produced a wide variety of designs that are nevertheless characterized by a constant gloss and modernity. Narrow and focused, with a clean line and defined geometric contrasts, the Mira 2012 lamp family by Carraglia shapes and defines the fulcrum of each space, while its floor lamps ABA 120 and ABA 45 table give a sense of novelty to a classic shape.
In addition, playfulness is another essential quality of many of Carraglia’s designs. This intrinsic sense of fun can be seen from the extravagant Imu, an outdoor lamp shaped like a birdhouse with bright colors, to the ironic Charles, which evokes the Darwinian theory tracing the evolution of the bulb in a single wall fixture, to the floor lamp Mister 2013 by Carraglia, a response and a complement to his suspension Miss 2006.
Pigreco, the new table lamp launched by Davide Groppi in 2019, reveals some intriguing new choices by Omar Carraglia. The most notable is the inclusion of a natural wood base, which gives warmth and earthiness to the lamp, which in turn is a partially frosted glass sphere. Pigreco evokes the soft and rounded shapes of the Cathode and Light My Fire models by Carraglia, but blends with its charm for precision in the perfection of a sphere.
