iguzzini enhances italian echoes collection with clan re

Italian design brand iGuzzini introduces Clan to Italian Echoes, a range displaying reissued historical products that draw on the brand's extensive archive. The re-edition of the classic piece, originally designed by Harvey, contains a table, pendant, and floor lamp. Born during a 1960's experimental manufacturing climate, the series represents a synthesis of two worlds, traditional form and contemporary materials.

Founded in 1959, the design brand iGuzzini is a leader in celebrating Italian innovations. In 2023, Clan joins the Italian Echoes product celebration. The first designs included Zurigo by Luigi Massoni, Polsino by Giò Ponti, Nitia by Rodolfo Bonetto, and Sorella by Harvey. All pieces were originally designed between 1966 and 1972, each fitted with modern, more sustainable light sources and materials.

Clan endorses the technique of thermoforming, allowing plastic to be shaped into spheres with various degrees of transparency, while PVC can be blown like glass. This advent, with its molding ability, vivid colors and lightness, opened up new avenues for design and expression, influencing nearly every aspect of home living. Clan's form strikes a balance between the present and the future, capturing the spirit of innovation and optimism that characterized those years while embodying the essence of Italian aesthetic quality.

The re-issue supports the entire range: the floor lamp, the pendant lamp and the table lamp. For the table version of Clan, iGuzzini adopts a sustainable approach of an ordinary plastic tube with a decorative cut-out. The re-edition brings back the original colors of white, cream and orange, while the lamp's optics and materials have been updated to enhance it's visual comfort and make it recyclable.
