The Hanoi lamp by Prandina has received the GrandesignEtico International Award 2012 12th edition. The Award is supported by Associazione Culturale Plana sponsored by Lombardy-Region and Provincia of Milan. It gives its values to designers and firms’ innovative products according to design and ethic standards such as: environmental protection during manufacturing processes, maintaining of good work’s conditions and relationships between employees and, finally, firms’ commitment towards underdeveloped Countries or lower classes. This award is the result of the constant work of a jury composed by designers, architects and companies’ representatives that, in the four sessions of the last two years, checked more than 600 firms and selected the worthy ones of Nomination. Prandina is an Italian brand who started in the interior lighting design in 1982 and it’s member of ADI - Industrial Design Association - since 2005. Since the beginning Prandina’s creative philosophy has fulfilled criteria of simplicity and formal precision, functionality and lasting quality that have enabled the brand to gain a recognised position in the international market. The table lamp Hanoi, conceived by the young Argentinean designer Federico Churba, hides a complex and sophisticated shape. A single sheet of white PMMA becomes a 3-dimensional volume thanks to a delicate folding process, in a sort of exchange between East and West, tradition and modernity. An illuminating object which is characterized by its formal coherence and elegant details and supplies a soft and gentle light. www.prandina.it
