TamTam lights07. Nov2011
TamTam light consists in a large central lampshade (50cm) in lacquered aluminium, to which are attached smaller lampshades like satellites (35cm). The satellites lampshades are adjustable 350º through a swivel mechanism.
The light that comes from the lampshades is diffused through an opalescent methacrylate surface which softens the light.
TamTam is suitable for any space. Its configuration, with the lampshades that can be arranged in so many different positions and in different colors, allows to create vast, multi-coloured ceilings and spaces, each one different from any other. TamTam is available with three or five satellite lampshades and each one can be personalised in any of the following colours: black, white, orange, tobacco, green or grey.

"It’s a juicy bunch of grapes, Nick Mason’s drums from Pink Floyd, the constellation of Perseus... There are so many examples that could be used to describe TamTam, a new perception in the world of lamps, which extols repetitiveness by focusing on the archetypal lampshade: a number of light sources pointed in different directions, geometrically arranged to invoke a feeling of organized chaos." - Fabien Dumas
