Aida
Esteemed
for his researched and controlled approach to materials, Italian architect,
sculptor and designer Angelo Mangiarotti created the almost gravity-defying
Aida lamp with its visual disconnect between the base and shade and a pleasing
ambient light. Referencing principles of his hailed architecture, where slim,
elegant pillars support large and heavy ceilings in an almost impossible lift,
Mangiarotti conceived Aida’s beautifully poised silhouette.

Angelo Mangiarotti |
Italian architect, sculptor and designer Angelo Mangiarotti was
born in Milan in 1921. Mangiarotti is quoted to have said, ”Happiness comes
from honesty”. A quote that hints to his overall design approach rooted in the
firm belief that architecture was a practical discipline and that industrial
design was an expression of fine craftsmanship. He wanted each individual
material to be respected and to be used in an appropriate and honest way.
Beyond his many architectural feats, Mangiarotti’s body of work boasts a wide
array of creative projects from sculpture, to products and lighting. Over the
course of his career, he held lecturing positions at a number of distinguished
design and architecture schools in Italy and abroad, he won numerous awards in
both design and architecture, and his work has been included in exhibitions and
collections at some of the world’s leading art and design institutions such as
Centre Pompidou in Paris, Triennale Design Museum in Milan and Gallery MA in
Tokyo. |
