The design of Cima takes inspiration from the jam cleats used on sailing boats, translating a practical nautical function into a refined architectural lighting solution. Its name, which means “nautical rope” in Italian, captures its defining characteristic: a rope that stretches seamlessly from ceiling to floor. More than just a support, the rope becomes a central graphic and functional element, while a sliding joint allows the lamp body to move vertically and lock in place at any desired height. The rope’s length is easily managed by a counterweight that keeps the line neat, even in spaces with lower ceilings.
Conceived as a highly flexible and adaptive light, Cima offers the ability to quickly change configuration according to the user’s needs. A polymer joint, precisely engineered through injection moulding, securely holds the lamp body while enabling smooth vertical adjustment. The lamp itself rests on this joint and can swivel to direct light exactly where required, offering a practical and elegant response to dynamic living or working environments. The integrated switch on the power cord ensures simple and convenient operation.
Cima’s aesthetic is defined by a balance of technical sophistication and visual restraint. Cylindrical forms and a textured black finish give the lamp body, joint, and counterweight a bold, minimalist look, while serving to highlight the vibrancy of the rope finishes, which are available in gold, yellow, or silver. These colourful accents allow the lamp to blend harmoniously with different interiors or to stand out as a striking design feature.
Functionally, Cima is equipped with a GU10 socket, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of commercial light bulbs. This makes the lamp not only versatile in terms of its form and installation, but also adaptable in terms of light output and atmosphere. Whether used for focused task lighting, ambient accents, or playful decorative compositions, Cima introduces a sense of movement and inclusiveness to the environment, transforming light into an element that can be shared, adjusted, and personalized.
