The Clan project came into being in the climate of
experimentation that revolutionized production processes
in the 1960s. Thermoforming can create spherical shapes
with varying degrees of transparency and PVC can be
blown like glass. Clan is therefore an object that merges
two worlds. Formal and typological tradition with the
modernity of industrial materials.
The table top version
of Clan saw the company take an ironic and sustainable
approach well ahead of its time: the base is a standard plastic
pipe characterized by a decorative cut. iGuzzini has re-issued
the complete family: the floor, pendant and table lamps in
their original colours: white, yellow and orange. Optics and
materials were updated to make the lamp visually more
comfortable and allow all its parts to be recycled.
