SERVOMUTO are graphic designer Alessandro Poli and architect Francesca De Giorgi, who together, have been designing and producing lampshades since 2007.
The duo is inspired by vintage forms re- searched from an archive that dates back more than 50 years, they then re-interpret the old style of lampshades adding unusual trimmings to salvaged materials such as army blankets, old velvet theatre curtains or screenprint fabrics with innovative and provocative images commisioned from artists with whom they collaborate.
