The creative design of the lamp was created by Slovak designer Martin Gallo. The designer took inspiration from Greek mythology, so the lamp is called Ikaros. The design is reminiscent of Leonardo da Vinci’s early drawings and his ideas for flying machines.
The design of the Ikaros lamp with geometric shapes
The lamp designed by Martin Gallo recalls a figure with outstretched wings and represents one of humanity’s oldest dreams: the ability to fly. The secret of the stylish design is that the shape of the lamp follows its natural structure.

Ikaros lamps designed by Martin Gallo in a modern interior
The creation of the lamp design was directly influenced by the Greek myth of Icarus and Daedalus. The design was conceived as a pendant. Since the construction is relatively large, the lamp should be used in an interior with more space. The lamp is made of fabric stretched over a metal frame. The stylish and elegant design makes the lamp suitable lighting for modern interiors.
