Alongside Sonora and Atollo, Pascal perfectly describes the Vico Magistretti’s design aesthetics: extremely pure geometric shapes, combined to create functional, symbolic compositions. In Pascal, the cone is enhanced by its repetition. At the end of the stem, supported by its metallic base, two overturned cones are positioned as if they were balancing one on top of the other, inside which the light sources are hosted.
However, the use of geometry does not represent an aesthetic subterfuge, it is used for a fundamental practical reason: while the upper cone hosts a LED circuit and acts as a “luminator”, the lower one hosts two E27 bulbs and transforms the inclined walls above into perfect reflectors, therefore resulting in ambient light being directed downwards. Its dual-circuit switches confirm the two-fold use of this lamp, making its functions entirely autonomous. In this way, by means of duplication, Pascal transforms a floor lamp emitting light upwards also into a reading lamp, without adding anything to the absoluteness of its design.
Floor lamp giving indirect and reflected light in lacquered aluminium, independent double lighting, lacquered metal base.

Vico Magistretti
One of the most influential architects and designers in the 1960s, Ludovico Magistretti (06/10/1920 - 19/09/2006), known by the nickname Vico, was born in Milan in 1920 into a family of architects. He enrolled in the school of architecture in 1939, and in 1943 moved briefly to Switzerland, where he met and frequented the architect Ernesto Nathan Rogers from Trieste, founder of BBPR. Magistretti considered Rogers to be one of his masters. Returning to Italy in 1945, he obtained his degree in Architecture and immediately began working in his father's studio, who died that same year.
