Inside the cage - De Padova
The unique aesthetics and interesting structure are certainly something that catches my eye. It couldn’t be otherwise with Nendo’s work for De Padova. Mogura in Japanese means a mole, and the oblique light bulb creates a thread-like graphic line reminding a tunnel. Suspended from the ceiling or placed on the floor, the matt black birdcage has a lasting influence on the interior, emphasizing the nobility of materials and beauty.
For me, this lamp has elements that give a new dimension to any situation. From the most intimate to completely prosaic. Together with light that plays a significant part with its shadows and rays, gaining an artistic effect is neither a coincidence nor an illusion.
