Veli Prisma Ceiling/Wall Light

SLAMP, based in Pomezia, near Rome, makes its lamps from materials it develops itself. Instead of glass or metal, the Italian company engineers its own technopolymers, tuning each one to create a particular effect: translucency, colour, sheen or the way light refracts through a fold.

Those materials make SLAMP designs possible. They can be cut, folded and layered into intricate, lightweight forms, faceted surfaces and flowing shapes that would be heavy or fragile in other materials. When lit, the light diffuses and bounces through the layers, producing a soft, atmospheric glow with plenty of texture. The catalogue includes pendants and lamps, many created with outside designers who share the company's appetite for experimentation. SLAMP lamps are unmistakably decorative and often bold, the kind of piece that becomes a talking point in a lounge, a bedroom or a restaurant.
