tuca-tuca lamp by elia mangia for foundry

presented by foundry at maison et object 2013, 'tuca-tuca' by milan-based designer elia mangia exudes a spirit of playfulness.
its structure consists of a carved and turned maple stem and a metal painted shade whose movement imitates a jackknife's blade - 
allowing the lampshade to close in a flush position when not in use. warm LEDs reflect off the natural wood surface, 
producing a soft illuminating glow towards the surrounding environment.
