The lamp’s minimalist structure radiates a soft, ambient glow that enriches the atmosphere without overwhelming it. Poet is a piece that invites calmness and comfort, making it an ideal companion for settings where light is meant to enhance a sense of ease and spatial harmony. With its subtle presence and sculptural clarity, Poet becomes a discreet yet defining element within contemporary interiors.
De Padova
Poet
Poet, designed by Keiji Takeuchi for De Padova, is a versatile lamp that gently illuminates spaces with a poetic balance of form and light. Available as a pendant or floor lamp, its design is defined by the interplay of a luminous disc embraced by a cylindrical base or frame. This simple yet evocative gesture transforms Poet into an object that transcends typologies, adapting seamlessly to both domestic and contract environments.
