SPUTNIK By Stilnovo
Sputnik is a suspension lamp with brass body with galvanic gilding, suspended via an interchangeable rigid rod that comes in two sizes (included). Finishes in metal painted black, ivory or in a multicoloured white/ivory/yellow/green/red/light blue/blue/black pattern. 6W 2700K E14 LED light bulbs included. Brass wire casing.
Sputnik is the name coined at the end of 1957 by the Russian space programme. Its name means travelling companion in the Russian language. The in-house style centre, under the careful supervision of the then production manager Bruno Gatta, decided to develop a lighting solution vaguely reminiscent of that satellite launched into orbit.
Thus the Sputnik family was born, consisting of a pendant, floor, wall and ceiling lamp.
The multicolour version is perhaps the most unusual, given the use of different colours.
The light source is composed of 12 truncated cones that are more tapered than the other families, each supporting an E14 lamp holder. The resulting effect is a true explosion starting with the spherical central core made of brass, an unmistakable representation of the Russian satellite.
Technical details
Lamp with twelve stems of different lengths and positioned asymmetrically. Twelve E14 lamp holders concealed inside the cones.
