| Amanita by Fernando and Humberto Campana for Alessi |
Italian design brand
Alessi will launch its very first lighting pieces as part of its spring/summer 2012 collection. One of the highlights is the return of
Fernado and Humberto Campana to the brand's catalogue with Amanita, a handcrafted rattan table lamp.

Amanita's triple-switch function allows three different lighting combinations and the material's texture evokes warmth and comfort.
While Alessi explores new territories, it's also continuing to do what it does best - using its extensive knowledge in steel manipulation to develop Phylum, the second contribution of London-based designer
Andrea Morgate to the company. The lamp was created using a complex production technique that involves modelling a sheet of corrugated and folded steel into a form that evokes the corolla of a flower.

Speaking to WGSN-homebuildlife, Morgante said: "I wanted to create a lighting piece that would be interesting when switched off as when switched on."
