Its name comes from Chilean mythology, Alicanto, a
nocturnal bird that is said to live in the Atacama Desert and
has the peculiarity of feeding exclusively on gold and silver.
According to the fable, its feeding makes it unable to fly but
makes its wings glow with golden reflections. The miners,
seeing its light in the dark, would follow it and thus find gold.
It was therefore the image of this bird capable of
lighting up the night, about to take flight but firmly set
on the ground, that suggested the inspiration when it came
to finding a name for a new lamp characterized by a slight
forward imbalance: its arched shape is all projected to carry
the light, almost as if to «extend» it, as far as possible.
An elegant and sophisticated fitting, Alicanto is a
contemporary lamp, solid and light, with an innovative
design that is capable of adapting to cutting edge furnishings
without departing from the FontanaArte philosophy, in
balance between art and industry, suspended between
clarity and durability.
Alicanto is a floor and wall lamp; the latter version is available
in two sizes.
The product can also be supplied Casambi / Dali ready.
