Doodle Floor and Table Lamp

Doodle looks drawn rather than made: a single strip of plated brass that loops, crosses and doubles back on itself, like a pen left to wander across a page. The Florentine architect Simone Micheli designed it for Terzani as a picture of how we live now, in paths that tangle and intertwine rather than run in straight lines, and every piece is shaped by hand by Terzani's artisans to its own random route, so no two are the same.

Tiny G4 LED bulbs sit inside the tangle and can be placed anywhere along the line, so the light gathers where you choose. Lit, the open metal throws a second drawing across the walls and ceiling, a web of soft shadow lines that turns a plain room into part of the piece.

Nickel, black nickel, gold or copper plate. The copper is left to age naturally, so it deepens and changes over the years.

In the room

The floor lamp is the tangle drawn upwards: a 180cm column of brass rising from a Ø36cm base, with six small lights caught at different heights inside it. Stand it in a corner, beside a fireplace or at the end of a sofa, and it throws its shadow drawing up the walls and across the ceiling. It weighs 16kg, so it stands solidly.

The table lamp is the same idea at hand scale, a Ø30cm knot of brass around a single bulb, for a console, a sideboard, a bedside or a library shelf, where it reads as a small sculpture by day. Both give soft, decorative light rather than reading light, and both are fixed output, without dimming.

Hand-crafted by local artisans for Terzani, a house born in Florence.
