Chiaroscura Floor Lamp

Picture an extruded-aluminum column, three-sided like the split stem of a reed. One edge points upward and bounces a broad wash off the ceiling; the other two faces carry satin diffusers that glow from top to bottom. Instead of the usual “torchère and dark shaft,” you get a light source that is lamp and lantern at once. The Medas kept the profile slender (under 3″ wide) yet rigid, slotting warm-white LED strips into hidden channels and letting the anodized skin act as heat sink. A foot-pedal dimmer at the cord steps the output from soft background to full room fill, so the lamp can play task light beside a reading chair or stand in a corner like a luminous pilaster. Finishes: Bronze, Anthracite, or Aluminum Grey — each subtly brushed to catch a hint of reflection when the side panels are lit. The weighted base tucks tight to furniture legs, and the 72″ height keeps the uplight comfortably out of view. Made, wired, and tested in Italy, Chiaroscura turns a familiar up-lighter into a vertical ribbon of light and shadow—true to its name.
