The Macarons

Inspired by the abstract patterns of the Memphis movement, the table lamps designed by Davide G. Aquini for IN – Progetti in Luce are an ironic incarnation of the Italian 80s mood.

The Macarons Postmodern Limited Edition Table Lamps were inspired by the abstract patterns of the Memphis movement and the famous French confection, the macaron.
Designed by Davide G. Aquini and made by IN – Progetti in Luce, the American tulipwood base and the eccentric lampshades bring back the 80s with their geometrical textures and bright colors with a sweet appearance.

First presented at the Fuorisalone Milan Design Week, the Macarons translate quirky arrangements to an original collection. With their distinctive patterns and shape, the Macarons are subtle representatives of a cutting-edge artistic era. The wooden base is handmade from two round pieces and assembled into one – just like the macaron.

“I decided to pay an homage to this movement because I love the colors and patterns of this style, moreover now we are in a revival of the 80s and Memphis is the incarnation of the Italian 80s mood.” says Davide G. Aquini.
