Catellani&Smith - Jackie O IC suspension lamp

Jackie O was developed at the request of an architect, who wanted to place the “Wa Wa” light over a large table. While working on the project, Enzo Catellani realised the unique quality of the item he had in his hands. He strived once again to achieve “absolute zero” and hoped even to eliminate the cable, which he did so by developing, for the very first time, an extremely thin cable covered in blue fabric, later also used in other items.
Suspension lamp with blue cable, nickel-plated copper curl, removable glass lens, connection with recessed disk. Driver not included.

Enzo Catellani

Enzo Catellani was born in Zibello (Parma) in 1950 and began his experience in the world of light in the late 1970s, taking over a lamp store in the Bergamo area, which gave him the  prompt  to start designing his handcrafted lamps. His lamps are true sculptures of light, characterized by increasingly precious finishes. For his products he exploits elementary forms, readily available materials and intuitive creations. The best light sources and the cutting-edge technology that accompanies them blend with a design to Italian craftsmanship. "Put your soul into it. This is the basic rule I set in everything I do and have instilled in the people who work with me."
