Floor lamp with stands that are made of white plastic material reinforced with fibreglass. It has a dust painted metallic grey base and a double LED system lightning with double switch. The main light emission comes from the upper part, while the courtesy light is given by a slight light effect on the arms.

This collection is inspired by nature, the observation of the lightness and elegance of elements such as a green meadow or bull-rushes dancing in the wind. When sketching this idea, Marc Sadler conveyed the simple yet strong graphic elements which became an essential part of the design. The technical side of the project aimed at creating a final product which a modular shape. By taking inspiration from the way in which these elements are often grouped together in nature, the aim was to allow the creation, for example, of the atmosphere of an elegant Zen garden by grouping together several of the floor lamps, in the home or in the reception area of a spa centre.
The collection is composed of three different versions of floor lamps for indoor and outdoor use. The first version includes multiple stalks that act as light diffusers, made of white plastic reinforced with fibreglass, with a light source on the tip. The metallic white base is spray-painted. The lamp runs on mains voltage with a double LED lighting system (24Vdc), fitted with a separate switch. The second version is composed of single stalks of the same material available in different heights and fitted with a metal stake for outdoor use. The last version is made out of burnished brass and copper with direct light emission.

About Designer
Marc Sadler
Born in Austria, a French citizen, Marc Sadler has lived and worked for many years in Europe, North America and Asia. He currently lives in Milan where he is a consultant for companies in the fields of home furnishings, large and small household appliances, lighting, technically andvanced products and sports.
In all of these areas, experimentation with plastics has often formed a key part of his acivity. In the late sixties, when design was known only as esthetique industrielle, he already showed a strong curiosity for the subject, choosing it for his thesis at ENSAD, Paris, where he graduated in 1968.
At the beginning of the seventies, he perfected the first ski-boot in thermo plastic material, subsequently commercialised by the Italian firm Caber (later known as Lotto). This marked the start of a long and fruitful collaboration which led to the patenting of the ski-boot with a symmetric shell, which was for many years the most widely-sold ski-boot in the world.
It was this project which was at the origin of his early specialisation as a sports designer, and which led to close collaboration with the most important multinational sport companies in the United States, Asia, and Europe. Working in this sector, which has often pioneered research into new materials and techniques, provided the experience which would later enable him to bring innovation to more traditional areas.
His work has won many international design awards over the years: his Motorcyclist’s Back Protector (designed for Dainese) is now housed in the permanent collection of design at the MOMA in New York and the lamp Mite (Foscarini) is part of the design collection of the Beaubourg in Paris. Despite his reputation as a technical designer, Marc Sadler has a strong feeling for painting, finding it so emotionally absorbing as to consider it his real passion.
