Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, Andon extends its versatility with a non-illuminated coffee table version that enriches spatial compositions. Its stainless-steel structure, combined with the play of materials and geometry, allows for layered arrangements of forms and finishes. The result is an object that is both poetic and pragmatic—illuminating space while seamlessly inhabiting it.

Andon floor lamp
Andon is a hybrid object of serene presence and refined utility, balancing between light and furniture in perfect harmony. Inspired by the Japanese tradition of sitting and sleeping close to the ground, this sculptural floor lamp incorporates a functional tabletop, transforming it into a versatile furnishing element. Available in both round and square formats, it recalls the aesthetics of Japanese interior architecture, where minimalism and tactility converge. The waterproof parchment shade gently diffuses light, while the base—crafted from black enamelled volcanic rock or pitchstone—anchors the object with a rich, Nerosicilia texture.
