The Riscio lamp, designed by Joe Colombo in 1967, is endowed with a light, friendly and modern expression, where the triangular lampshade almost seems to float from the cylindrical base. Riscio is presented in three timeless colours: dark red, white and midnight blue. Colours to suit a wide range of settings, from private homes to public spaces. The lamp projects a fairly bright light and comes with a touch-sensitive dimmer integrated into the top. "Riscio" is Italian for "rickshaw", and the lamp was Colombo's way of recognising the importance of Asian heritage and culture
