An avant-garde salute to a simpler past. The Black Out Tall Floor Lamp from Karman brings a bold form with a soft and welcoming attitude, showcasing Matteo Ugolini’s hard-striving efforts to bring his designs closer to nature, even as it slips away. A single curved rod of painted metal forms the fixture’s base and body, keeping things simple as it curls up from a circular stand to hang a flared, fiberglass shade around downward-facing lamping. The shade itself is a deliberate mix of fiber density, pouring out a pool of direct light through its open base, while specific strands shadow an ambient warmth suggestive of candlelight.
