Melting Pot, a contemporary Tower of Babel

Design by Sandro Santantonio

A contemporary Tower of Babel featuring a variety of shapes and decorations mingled harmoniously

Melting Pot is a collection of suspension lamps, floor lamps and wall- mounted luminaires made up of lampshades with different shapes and decorations assembled together: a novel Tower of Babel, where the diversity of colours and shapes generates harmony. What emerges is a charming architectural construction, an appealing blend of apparently conflicting characters and styles revealing the talent and ideas of a designer bent on creating a contemporary, multi- faceted light source.

Light or dark patterns matched with white, silver or gold

The decorative motifs of the external patterns include subtly optical designs, stripes, squares and elegant stylised floral motifs – all the same on both light and dark versions.

The single lampshade (used in the suspension and in the floor versions) features two different patterns which match with silver or gold interiors while in the multi-element lampshade the patterns create a real melting pot which, in the case of suspension lamps, can be matched with the interior in silver, white or gold and in the case of wall-mounted luminaires with the interior in white and gold. The white interior is available only for the lampshade in the light version.

Lampshades available in six different versions

The lampshade unit is held together by means of elastic braces. The framework of the lampshades is made of iron rods coated with self-extinguishing PVC coupled with printed fabric. The pendant luminaires are available with a single lampshade with Ø 55 cm or 80 cm and with a multi-element lampshade with Ø 102 cm with 3 lights, Ø 51 cm with a single light and linear of 120 cm with 4 lights. The wall-mounted luminaire comes in a single version with two lights (37 cm base); the floor lamp is available in two different dimensions: the smallest one with h. 179 cm and lampshade with Ø 55 cm and the biggest with h.196 cm and lampshade Ø 80 cm.
