Sampei
Category: Lighting
Sampei is a special project, an authentic “ready-made”.
Obtained from a fishing rod, flexible and telescopic, it is a delicate and elegant sign, which brings to mind the subtle branches of a willow tree or bamboo canes floating on a light breeze.
Sampei is an unexpected gift, it is the magic of looking up, using light as a hook, and being amazed by so much weightlessness.
A small head atop a long, thin carbon fiber stem.
At the slightest shift, it responds with a slight swaying motion, instilling a rhythm of slow waiting.

Sampei is available in two versions: indoor and outdoor.
Sampei is the idea of "fishing" for light, that is, of putting the light wherever you want.
For Davide Groppi the light on the table is the most beautiful light, because it is the light of encounter and love and Sampei allows you to do it even when you can't use the ceiling.
