Lari mini is a portable version of Angelo Mangiarotti’s original Lari lamp from 1978. Just like the original Lari, Lari mini consists of a single mouth-blown piece of glass attached to a powder-coated metal base. The mouth-blown glass has a distinctive rippled structure which creates a beautiful, slightly blurred feel to the ambient light.
Lari mini can cast its beautiful light in a wide range of settings – from cosy nooks in private homes and eye-catching reception desks at the office to dim, candlelit dinners at the restaurant.
Lari mini charges via a USB-C cable and goes from zero to fully charged in 3,5 to 4 hours. When fully charged, it can provide up to 14 hours of light.
Italian architect, sculptor, and designer Angelo Mangiarotti was born in Milan in 1921. Mangiarotti is quoted to have said, ”Happiness comes from honesty”. A quote that hints to his over all design approach that was rooted in the firm belief that architecture was a practical discipline – and that industrial design was an expression of fine craftsmanship. He wanted each individual material to be respected and to be used in an appropriate and honest way. Beyond his many architectural feats, Mangiarotti’s work includes a wide array of creative projects ranging from sculptures, to products and lamps. Over the course of his career, he held lecturing positions at a number of distinguished design and architecture schools in Italy and abroad, he won numerous awards in both design and architecture, and his work has been featured in many exhibitions worldwide, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, Triennale Design Museum in Milan, and Gallery MA in Tokyo.
