Made by Alessandro Mendini as an amulet used to protect his grandchild’s space, RAMUN campanello can be used both as a night light or nursing light(breast-feeding lamp) and a unique ornament on the table, creating a romantic atmosphere through its candlelight feature. Furthermore, the soft and subdued light reflected off the uneven surface of the lamp body at different angles oozes a very fantastic aurora, lending the space an air of mystery and sophistication. The design with the shape of a human body reflects Mendini’s philosophy of design that objects should be able to interact with humans, and the lamp also offers the beautiful thousand-year-old sound of Marinelli, an Italian bell foundry, a designated major supplier of bells to the Vatican.
When you touch the head on Campanello, the small character we created, you are involved in a small performance that takes place right at your table. You find yourself facing a small, mysterious creature, and are immediately drawn into the fun of using it. It is a kind of toy for adults, with a head, eyes and a sprightly appearance. The gesture of touching the figurine and hearing its sound become a mini-spectacle that favors the enjoyment of the moment.
