Продолжим знакомство с римским дизайнером Фабио Ленчи и поделимся с вами одной из первых его работ для компании «Guzzini», серией светильников «Focus», созданной на рубеже 1960-1970-х гг. и включавшей подвесные, настольные и напольные разновидности. Ленчи, промышленный инженер-конструктор по образованию, спроектировал их таким образом, чтобы шарообразный источник света, состоящий из двух полусфер, покоился на металлической опоре (как коньячный бокал в руке) и мог при необходимости поворачиваться в разные стороны, что позволяло регулировать направленность и интенсивность свечения. А одна из напольных разновидностей – то ли под влиянием предтеч Ленчи (привет братьям Кастильони!), то ли из-за широты итальянской души – получила подставку в виде размашистой дуги, благодаря которой ее даже можно использовать вместо потолочного светильника.

Let’s circle back to Fabio Lenci, a lesser-known, but very influential Italian designer based in Rome, with an important series of lamps he designed for Guzzini in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Dubbed “Focus”, this collection comprised all kinds of household fixtures: pendants, table, bedside, and floor lamps. An industrial engineer by training, Lenci conceived all of these fixtures so as to enable the ball-shaped source of light to be cradled, like a brandy glass, on an elegant metal support. Thanks to this design, the ball could be turned in the 0-360 range thereby controlling the direction and intensity of light. Either inspired by its famous predecessor by Castiglionis or as a typically Italian panache, one of the floor versions was supplied with an overarching arm that enables one to use it in place of a ceiling lamp.
