“The light is the fisherman’s line, ready to capture faces, looks, people.”

Sampei is a special project — an authentic ready-made — born from a flexible fishing rod transformed into a luminous sculpture. Its form evokes the fleeting grace of willow branches or bamboo rods swaying gently in the wind, delivering a gesture that is both elegant and unexpected. Light is used not just functionally, but as an emotive force — to surprise, to inspire awe, and to elevate everyday space.

A delicate, vertical presence with a black structure, Sampei casts an upward beam of light that feels as light as air yet rich in atmosphere. Available in four different heights and an outdoor version, it seamlessly integrates into both natural and architectural environments.

Key Details:

• Structure: Flexible rod, black finish
• Light Type: Indirect, subtle upward illumination
• Variants: Indoor and outdoor versions
• Heights: 4 configurations available
• Awards: XXIII Compasso d’Oro ADI (2014), Elle Deco International Design Award (2011)

Sampei captures the essence of design as poetry, turning a simple gesture into a meaningful interaction with space and light. A masterpiece of minimalism and emotion.
