To create the Tatou lamp collection, Patricia Urquiola was inspired by the construction of Japanese armor: a set of metal buckles cleverly attached with ribbons. This technic has been simplified to give life to a line of three-dimensional lampshades.Â
The name "Tatou" was chosen by Patricia Urquiola in reference to the animal of the same name, known for its thic armor-like skin consisting of overlapping plates. The lampshades of the Tatou collection play with the notions of matter and empty spaces, transparency and opacity. Pierced by a multitude of openings, they emit direct light, directed both downwards and upwards, and project delicate shadows onto the floors and walls.
Polycarbonate and methacrylate have been selected for their great interaction with light. The fruit of a long research, these reworked polymers acquire a jewel-like finish with an astonishing shine.Â
The Tatou collection is available in white and ochre grey and includes two sizes of pendants, a table lamp and a floor lamp.
