Heavy Cotton at Palazzo Brioni for Wallpaper handmade 2011 – Milan

The project Heavy Cotton is born from a collaboration between Servomuto and DWA, Frederik De Wachter and Alberto Artesani. The design of the lamp is a new version of an already existing form. DWA decided to reinterpret that form by covering the skeleton of the shade with a kind of dress in cotton, which can be changed and customized as a bespoke dress according to the needs of the buyer. Heavy Cotton was presented in three sizes using a 100% cotton jersey, with three types of printed marble textures. The final effect is that of a block of marble suspended in mid air.
