Dana

A luminous sphere seems almost suspended in time and space. A metal structure seduces the gaze with its striking simplicity and the boldness of its construction. The extroverted Dana by Jean-Pierre Garrault and Henri Delord fits perfectly into the constant search for timeless pieces carried out by Tacchini: a lamp with a strong personality.

Dana’s idea was born in 1970 during a trip to Japan, when the designers decided to climb Mount Fujiyama and one evening, during a stop in a traditional Japanese inn, they were lucky enough to see the full moon rise and pass over the top of the mountain: hence the intuition to create a lamp with large luminous spheres that seem to rise towards the sky.

Today, re-edited in agreement with the two designers, Dana is presented in a floor-to-ceiling version with a tubular structure in chromed metal and a sphere of light in composite material.
