With Caravaggio™ Opal, Cecilie Manz has combined the characteristic Caravaggio™ design with a completely different lighting effect. The opal glass shade emits a soft, dimmed light, which is particularly suitable for rooms where a more evocative lighting is required. The lamp is suspended by the three renowned shackles, which here form a raw and masculine contrast to the feminine opal hand-blown glass.
The P1 curved shade makes it perfect as a single lamp for smaller side tables or in multiples over worktables and counters. The P2 curved shade opens the light gently outwards for working or dining. The P3 curved shade can be supplied with an optional diffuser to soften the illumination.
With two artist parents, Cecilie Manz encountered the world of design in early childhood in their workshop. Her own career began in 1997 with an academic education from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Following a semester abroad at the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Manz started her own company, which has been the focus of her work ever since.
