Contardi, a synonym of elegance and innovation in the world of design lighting, presents Picchio, the new collection designed by Alessandro Munge. Design and function come together in this lamp inspired by the biomechanics of the woodpecker. This series merges aesthetics and functionality in a perfect balance between nature and technology, transforming light into an intuitive and sophisticated experience.
Alessandro Munge reinterprets the concept of the reading lamp, transforming it into a dynamic and sculptural object. The design draws inspiration from the posture and movement of the woodpecker, featuring an articulated structure that recalls its iconic gestures. The diffuser, reminiscent of a beak, opens and tilts to precisely modulate the light, while the joint, which is essential and functional, ensures maximum freedom of movement.
Picchio is available in various versions—wall-mounted and table lamp—designed to naturally adapt to residential, contract, and hospitality environments. Whether in a hotel room, a reading nook, or a sophisticated lounge area, every element of the collection is conceived to provide precise, elegant, and comfortable lighting.
Beyond its aesthetic innovation, Picchio meets the needs of those seeking practical, durable, and functional lighting. Thanks to its ergonomic design and state-of-the-art LED technology (the light source is a LED Module), it offers comfortable, adjustable lighting—perfect for reading, working, or creating intimate atmospheres.
The careful selection of materials and finishes plays a key role in customizing the collection. Metal-only versions are available in Polished aluminum or Bronze. Additionally, the collection offers versions with leather details. Picchio is available in a range of color variants spanning from contemporary minimalism to warmer interpretations.
With its evocative name and essential aesthetic, Picchio represents a perfect union of craftsmanship, technology, and creativity.
