The diffuser, discreetly integrated into the horizontal cylinder, can rotate on its axis, directing light exactly where it is needed. This intuitive movement enhances its versatility while preserving the lamp’s uncluttered aesthetic. Twig is a refined lighting object—functional, elegant, and unintrusive—an embodiment of Takeuchi’s philosophy of designing objects that blend softly into their surroundings while enhancing the experience of space.
De Padova
Twig
Twig, designed by Keiji Takeuchi for De Padova, is a modern floor lamp that explores balance through the asymmetrical intersection of two matte black aluminium cylinders. Defined by its understated geometry and precise detailing, Twig embodies a design language where function and form quietly merge. The clean lines and slender silhouette allow the lamp to integrate seamlessly into a variety of interior contexts, from minimalist living spaces to curated architectural environments.
