The Mezzaluna floor lamp was designed in 1975 by the Italian designer Bruno Gecchelin. The idea was to provide a powerful floor lamp, which could replace a pendant light as basic lighting in a room, thanks to the then innovative technology of halogen lighting.
To ensure this function, the Mezzaluna floor lamp was equipped with a dimmer, a pivoting head to direct the lumens and a height-adjustable foot to adapt to the shape of the room. The design, both simple and obvious, did the rest: the Mezzalina floor lamp was a huge success, before leaving the market because of its energy-consuming technology.
The floor lamp is reborn today thanks to the artistic director of DCW Éditions, Frédéric Winkler, who contacted Bruno Gecchelin via his son, Lorenzo, also a designer, to adapt it to LED technology. Enthusiastic, the Gecchelins, father and son, collaborated to give a second life to the “Demi-Lune” floor lamp.
The result is perfect: the lighting power is remarkable: up to 6000 lumens, enough to illuminate an entire room.
To the original black and white have been added red, yellow and carbon blue hues inspired by the iconic Lampe Gras.
Light source Integrated LED Up to 6000 lm – sliding dimmer on the lampshade – light temperature adjustable from 3000 K (cold white) to 2700 K and 2300 K (very warm white) using 3 filters provided.
