Variety and flexibility are at the heart of the modular Alphabeta lighting system by Luca Nichetto. Eight different shade shapes in a wide range of powder-coated colors equate to a plethora of possibilities—1024 to be exact. Whatever your aesthetic, from strict and somber all-black to playful and flamboyant color combinations, sharp lines or voluptuous forms, Alphabeta can accommodate them all. Alphabeta are bidirectional—meaning they emit light from both the top and the bottom of the shade—so that you need not choose between spotlight and ambient light but can enjoy both. The Alphabeta Floor Lamp consists of our modular shade on top of a slender, gently angled metal stand. The stand is weighted for stability and adjustable for ultimate accurate control. Every turned-steel shade and milled part is made in Italy.
