AFRA E TOBIA SCARPA

1973 ” Capricornio” wall light

£1,800

The versatile 'Capricorno' lamp, designed by Afra and Tobia Scarpa for Flos in 1973. This light fixture can be used as a wall or ceiling lamp and is characterized by its adjustable lacquered metal reflectors and plastic detailing. The design perfectly embodies the Scarpa's mastery of functional and aesthetically pleasing industrial design.

I am captivated by the lamp’s flexibility; its adjustable reflectors give it a kinetic quality, transforming it into an interactive piece of kinetic art. It carries an intellectual charge tied to its innovative design. We view this as an essential Architectural Element that allows the collector to curate light itself, demonstrating the enduring brilliance of Italian lighting design.
