Mami Floor-Ceiling Lamp by Penta

Mami in its floor-ceiling version is a slender metal stem that rises from the floor to the ceiling, designed in 2013 for Penta by Umberto Asnago.

It comes in 3 sizes (Extra Small, Small and Large) with a matt black or brushed bronze metal structure, in 3000K or 2700K light.

The Design Story

Penta’s Mami family has two floor versions, and the floor-ceiling one is the most scenic. A slender metal stem soars from the floor to the ceiling, for anyone who wants a bold, striking design that draws the eye and lights every detail. Penta calls the collection halfway between design and art.

The Story

Penta works in borosilicate glass, the same family of glass used for laboratory ware. It is resistant to thermal shock, expands only about one third as much as ordinary soda-lime glass, withstands temperatures of about 500°C (932°F) and stands up well to chemicals. Each piece is shaped by hand with burners, which is why no two shades are exactly alike.

The Designer

Umberto Asnago has given his working life to design and planning. After holding important positions at Giorgetti, he committed himself fully to design in 2006 and became one of Penta’s historic names. With his long experience and refined creative toolbox, he has created many of the iconic collections in the Penta catalog.

Mami is his 2013 design for Penta.

Why You’ll Love It

A slender metal stem rises from the floor to the ceiling. Penta calls this the most scenic of the Mami floor versions: bold, striking and able to draw the eye and light every detail. It is dimmable by phase cut. The Extra Small and Small give 3822 lumens from 40W of LED, and the Large gives 5096 lumens from 53W.

Made for Real Life

The LED is built in, so there is no bulb to buy or change. Penta lists the lamp as phase-cut dimmable. Please send us your ceiling height and we will confirm the right size before you order.
