Pascal is a perfect embodiment of the aesthetics of the designs by Vico Magistretti. Pure geometric forms are used to create compositions which are functional and symbolic.

In Pascal the beloved theme of the cone is enhanced by repetition and not just for a formal reason, but also a practical one: the upper cone houses a halogen bulb and acts as a "luminator", the lower one houses two incandescent bulbs and transforms the sloping sides above in perfect reflectors, thus giving rise to ambient light directed downwards.

That's the genius of the project: through duplication it transforms a floor lamp emitting upwards, becoming a versatile reading lamp and all this is done without any apparent effort, while preserving the absoluteness of the design.

At the same time precise and poetic simplicity preserves Pascal from all forms of aging, and protects it from the phenomenon of "being fashionable" and making it even today, after more than 30 years, a contemporary object.

- Marco Romanelli

Vico Magistretti graduated in 1945 from Milan Polytechnic, where his lecturers included Gio Ponti and Piero Portaluppi, and immediately started work in his father’s studio. He mainly designed for the home and living ideas and soon made a name for himself in the Milan that was home to the growing industry of design, developing an extremely expressive, unmistakable language.At the end of the forties he took part in various editions of the Triennale in Milan and in 1956 he was one of the founding members of the ADI, the Italian Industrial Design Association. He has worked with important companies and his projects are part of permanent collections in the world’s most important museums. From 1998 to 2003, for FontanaArte he designed the wall lamps Ananas and Bruco, the Margaret lamp with supporting bag and Morocco hanging lamp.He has received no fewer than four Compasso d'Oro awards; for his Eclisse and Atollo lamps and for the Maralunga armchair, plus one for his career (1995). In parallel with his outstanding career as a designer, he has also been busy in the field of architecture. He was nominated member of the Accademia di San Luca in 1967 and honorary member of the Royal College of Art in London, where he is also a visiting professor. He has also taught at the Domus Academy in Milan and held conferences and lectures in Europe, Japan and the USA. In 1986 he received a gold medal from the SIAD (Society of Industrial Artists and Designers).
