DELIGHTFULL
Portugese lighting brand Delightfull will be returning to 100% Design for 2013, strengthening this year’s lighting proposition with Delightfull’s elegant ranges.
The Amy lamp is a tribute to the late British singer and songwriter Amy Winehouse. Winehouse’s personality shines through in Delightfull’s attention to detail; the black symbolising her dark hair and gold plated stand representing the singers golden voice. The Amy comes as both a floor and table lamp.
One of Delightfull’s new ranges the Botti suspension lamp is an intricate brass piece plated in gold, much like a wind instrument where the designer got their inspiration. Don’t miss Delightful at 100% Design as they will be unveiling some more truly unique lamps.
