A rare and iconic example of Post-Modern Italian lighting, the 'Hikary' suspension lamp was designed by Ettore Sottsass for Skipper in 1976. Its radical design makes it one of the most sought-after lighting fixtures for collectors of 20th-century design. The Hikary lamp is a study in verticality and structural transparency. Its design is characterized by: Tiered Geometry: A sculptural diffuser composed of six parallel rectangular plates. While often seen in yellow, this rare vibrant red version emphasizes the bold, pop-inspired palette typical of Sottsass’s work in the 70s. Industrial Elegance: The contrast between the lacquered red surfaces and the internal metal structure creates a sophisticated industrial aesthetic. Floating Presence: Suspended by four delicate steel cables, the lamp appears to float in space, connected to a matching red square ceiling canopy that mirrors the form of the main body.
