SHADOW LIGHT- The perforations in the reflector decorates the lampshade with light patterns.

Light games, a touch of magic and the enchanted atmospheres of Swedish nights: these are the features of the new “Shadow Light” lamp designed by the scandinavian design team Front for Porro.

It is available in a floor option with a slim white stem and in a hanging version, ideal as a light above a dining or meeting table. It has a clean, minimal design when turned off, that reflects the Porrro philosophy. Shadow Light is characterized by a particular “double skin” lampshade, an external white diffuser that conceals a white semi-dome, studded inside with holes of various diameters, for a system of shadows and multiple reflections.

The lamp, once turned on, is covered with dots, projecting throughout the room a fun and charming dotted motif. Shadow Light is available with white diffuser and white varnished metal structure.
