During Milan Furnishing Fair 2008, spHaus has launched THX 1138, a new hi impact freestanding lamp supplier.
Made of aluminium and painted steel, THX 1138 is projected by Filippo Dell’Orto, artistic director and founder of the innovative Italian design brand. THX 1138 is a large disc resting on a thin stem holds the luminaire source: the light, generated by a combination of energy-saving bulbs, is diffused toward the architectural ceiling for a sober, even effect. THX 1138 is available in two versions: a high impact design with a disc measuring one metre in diameter, practically an ambient installation (Diameter 100 x height 210 cm). The other, of smaller, more commercially viable size (diameter 50 x height 185 cm), is a lot like a traditional stem lamp. Available in black and white.
THX 1138 has made her debut during two events in two different locations: the traditional fair and the prestigious Palazzo della Permanente in the centre of Milan.
