Barovier&Toso - Metropolis wall/ceiling lamp

The strong point of Marrakech, apart from the versatility of being indifferently ceiling or wall lamp, is its unlimited modularity: the regular hexagon shape allows you to flank endlessly the Venetian crystal tiles that characterize the collection, each with a peculiar surface processing (up to three different). The "dew" effect applied on the back of the elements, a technique patented by Barovier & Toso in the twentieth century, diffuses the light provided by low voltage LED strips embedded in the metal structures of support.
