A sophisticated sculptural lamp that blends contrasting elements in a dynamic composition of volumes.

Designed by Rodolfo Dordoni, Nile is a decorative lamp of remarkable character, with a vivid presence that brings sophisticated elegance to any space.

In Nile the arrangement of the two volumes seems to defy the law of gravity. The base and the diffuser, at different angles, remain in place thanks to an invisible game of weights, positions and joints for a unified dynamic effect.

“I wanted a sculptural presence, a true diffuser of light, with a form that was not necessarily tied to the function. I designed two intersecting volumes: the small marble base, and the large glass diffuser. When I looked at them I was reminded of the famous bust of Queen Nefertiti, which gave me the name: Nile.”

Already beautiful when off, it takes on even more allure when the light filters through the precious blown glass, shining down to the surface below and upward through the two open sides of the diffuser.
