Casamania produce many excellent pieces of work, often outside the normal run of products you might ordinarily see in the high street. Located in Vidor , about 60kms north of Venice, Casamania have been designing and manufacturing various pieces of furniture for over 30 years and manage to mix industrial pieces with some gorgeous domestic applications.
Twee T. is a system of lamps projected by Jake Phipps for Casamania. The idea of cage, retrace the past tradition of canary in homes, from the Egyptian civilizations and Roman times, you can see the canary presence in the houses; in the Middle Ages and in the English courts it was a good upbringing sign to have them in peoples lounges.
In this way, an icon of british high-ranking status became a lamp-object. A figure symbol, enhanced by gold plating and yield useful by its illuminating function. The little birds are made of BOSA hand decorated ceramics, black painted or plated in 24 carat gold; the structure of metal rod black painted or gold plated in the total gold version. The LED lighting fixture is on the base of the cage, covered by a double polycarbonate shielding, that on the one hand illuminates the room and on the other hand illuminates the inside of the cage.
I think in the right setting these would be ideal – any thoughts?
