Stecco Floor Lamp Designed by Nestor Perkal for Oscar Maschera
About the Item
Stecco is a truly unique lamp.
Its slender twiggy shape immediately brings to mind a species from the insect world. Some people, upon seeing the whittled structure of the first prototypes, immediately thought of the stick bug, stecco in Italian, with its long, thin body that mimics the shape of the stem it sits on. Hence, its name, Stecco. This lamp is the evolution of an object with a painted wooden structure and a fluorescent bulb created to be a lighting element for the set of the “In Progress” exhibit at the Musée du Grand-Hornu, in Belgium in 2010.
The Stecco floor lamp was created starting from an aluminum frame, entirely hand covered in vegetable tanned leather available in ten sophisticated colors. The lamp uses 12 volts LED lighting which can be adjusted using a touch dimmer switch built into the frame. Unlike the stick-bug, an adept mime which blends in with its surroundings, Stecco proudly stands out from its surroundings. Its looms up in space, an elegant silhouette in any setting: a beacon that suffuses indirect lighting.
Stecco cm 52 × 36 × 170 H.

Leather colors available: tan, sienna, orange, red, red-purple, dark brown, khaki, blue, black. DIMENSIONS: D. 64.1", W. 25.9", H. 1.4" "Mirrors should reflect a little before throwing back images." Jean Cocteau, Le sang d'un poète (1930) Nestor Perkal said about "Liquid Days": "This object has always fascinated me. Is it there simply to reflect our image or is it looking at us? It envelopes us, searches for us, constantly questions us. At Oscar Maschera I looked for what leather could bring to this object and how it could become its supporting structure."
