About the Item
Metropoli is a lamp designed in 1992 by Alberto Meda, Paolo Rizzato, and Riccardo Sarfatti for Luceplan, and winner of the prestigious Compasso d’Oro ADI Milano in 1994. Characterized by its distinctive porthole-inspired form, the fixture features an aluminum structure paired with a convex diffuser in knurled prismatic glass. Suitable for both wall and ceiling installation, the design offers exceptional versatility.
The lamp embodies a refined balance of simplicity, elegance, and technical precision. An integrated hinged mechanism with a “watch case” style closure allows effortless access for bulb replacement and maintenance. Crafted from slender die-cast aluminum, the fixture conceals all technical elements within a clean, minimal profile. The flush-bonded glass diffuser creates a sealed construction, providing soft, controlled illumination and making the lamp suitable for both interior and exterior use.
A timeless example of late 20th-century Italian design, seamlessly bridging architecture, function, and form.
