Cinto Lamp

The name means belted, and that is exactly what the form does: a tall, softly tapered shade wrapped in horizontal bands, each ring stepping in a little from the one below so the silhouette gathers at the waist and opens again towards the top. The banding is doing the real work. Where a plain shade gives you one flat wash, these ridges break the surface into stacked lines of light and shadow, which is what makes a printed lamp look designed rather than improvised. It arrives as a single file, so the shade is one continuous sculpted form rather than a shape broken up into sections. It sits naturally on a bedside table, a hallway console or the corner of a room that needs a low light source rather than an overhead one.
