Troco
Based on a concept of the extreme simplification of the lighting device, Troco is a wall or table lamp composed of a bulb socket inserted in the wall bracket by a fixing ring nut which is blocked when the bulb is screwed in, as also in the Armilla lamp. The blown glass diffuser is a white opaline tube cut as an organ pipe at the two ends. The formal elegance of the diffuser and of the structure, which is reduced to the bare minimum, characterise this lamp-object that can either be wall-mounted or laid on a work surface.
