cappello | table lamp
cappello is lit by LED and shaded by a paper cap, or “cappello” in Italian. A simple magnetic connection allows the paper cap to slide to any position along the steel wire that springs from the Carrara marble base. This connection lets the cap tilt, adjusting the direction of light and giving the little lamp a gestural, anthropomorphic quality. A custom dimmer controls the lamp’s warm glow.
The marble base is an artifact of design history. It is a byproduct of the manufacturing process for Arco, the iconic floor lamp designed by the Castiglioni brothers in 1962. The base of cappello will have machine marks from extraction. As an object that tells a story, molo has chosen not to polish these marks away.
cappello is a modest tribute to Achille Castiglioni, his brother Pier Giacomo and Ingo Maurer, designers that molo admires for the way they found inspiration in everyday life to create designs that move the heart.
Design by Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen
readymade:
cappello is an assemblage of found objects. In the spirit of Castiglioni and Maurer, the marble, the piano wire and the paper miso bowl were reimagined to make the lamp.
light:
Colour temperature is a scale that measures how ‘warm’ (yellow) or ‘cool’ (blue) the light from a particular source is.
cappello colour temperatures:
4000K · neutral daylight white 3000K · warm white 2700K · warmer white
4000K mimics mid-day daylight, making it perfect for the spaces we occupy during the day. It helps to promote awareness and productivity in offices and other work environments.
The warmth of 2700 – 3000K is suited to spaces that we wind down in at the end of the day and evening, such as bedrooms, living rooms and restaurants.
discover:
cappello presents a playful opportunity to continue the design process. molo encourages discovering new bases made from objects that inspire or delight.
dimmer switch:
A custom dimmer featuring one-button functionality cycles cappello luminosity from off to full brightness and back.

Stephanie Forsythe
Canada
Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen cofounded molo in 2003 and are best known for sharing their ideas and products for flexible, sustainable spacemaking around the world. Over the past three decades, the partners have worked together and led the Vancouver-based studio from humble beginnings to international recognition and acclaim. Along the way, they have assembled a dedicated team and a family of specialized manufacturers that support them in this endeavour. The partners work together to design all of molo’s products and projects, which range in size from a tea set to a museum. Forsythe and MacAllen met in 1994 while studying Architecture at Dalhousie University. Between 1994 and 2003, they worked together on several award-winning architectural projects and competition proposals. These projects included foundational investigations into materials, flexibility, and sustainable space making. The partners built molo around these early explorations and ideas, and they continue to drive the spirit behind the studio. Together, they designed and developed the iconic soft collection, a sculptural line of innovative, flexible space partitions, furniture, and lighting elements made from paper and textile. The award-winning soft collection is well known for its poetic beauty and pragmatic design. It experiences steady, iterative development as Stephanie Forsythe and Todd MacAllen continue their experiential and technical investigations, or as a sensitivity to nature and how the products interact with light and shadow inspires new finishes or colours. Stephanie Forsythe, Todd MacAllen, and molo hold over thirty-five patents and thirty design registrations. They have received numerous international design and architecture awards, including the prestigious Danish INDEX Award for Design to Improve Life for softwall, the Architectural Review AR + D Award for Colorado House, 2010 Emerging Voices Award from The Architectural League of New York and Grand Prize in the Aomori Northern Housing Competition. Their products have been acquired by many museum and gallery collections, including the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Chicago Art Institute, Die Neue Sammlung, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum.
