Paint A Lavagna Wall Light by In-es.artdesign

Paint A Lavagna by In-es.artdesign is the paint-pot shade on a 50 cm flexible arm that reaches from the wall, in blackboard-effect resin. It is designed by Oçilunam and made to order in Ariccia, just outside Rome.

Matt pairs the glow of Nebulite with a hand-applied outer skin. Lavagna is a blackboard-effect resin you can actually draw on, write on and wipe clean; Cemento is a concrete-effect varnish that gives the shade the weight and grain of raw building material, while the color inside stays bright.

The Design Story

In-es.artdesign was founded in 2003 by the Italian artist and designer Oçilunam to bring art and design together in light. The studio works with craft-inspired techniques, balancing light and shadow with pure color and contrasting textures, and makes every piece in Italy under strict quality control. The Paint A Lavagna belongs to the Matt collection.

Why You'll Love It

On the wall, the Paint A Lavagna reads as a piece of art first and a light second, which makes it a natural fit for hallways, bedrooms and living spaces.

The surface is never flat or plastic-looking: the hand-laid fibers in the Nebulite give the glow depth and movement, so the Paint A Lavagna looks different at dusk, at night and in daylight.

Choose from 8 options in the interior color menu above; each tile shows the color combination. Screens show color a little differently than real life, and the hand-finished surface varies slightly from piece to piece.

Made for Real Life

We supply the Paint A Lavagna with a UL-listed cable for US installation; the bulb is sold separately so you can choose your own color temperature.

Questions We Hear Most

What is the Paint A Lavagna made of?

The Paint A Lavagna is made of laprene, nylon, Nebulite (fiberglass), blackboard-effect resin. Nebulite is In-es.artdesign's own resin-and-fiber composite, finished by hand in Italy, which is why each shade has its own slightly irregular texture.

Can I really draw on the Paint A Lavagna?

Yes. The outer shell of the Paint A Lavagna is a blackboard-effect resin, so you can write or sketch on it with chalk and wipe it clean, the way In-es.artdesign intended.

Will the Paint A Lavagna work with US wiring?

Yes. We order every Paint A Lavagna with a UL-listed cable for US installation. The bulb is not included; use the type shown in the specifications.

How long does the Paint A Lavagna take to arrive?

Each Paint A Lavagna is made to order in Italy and ships in 2 to 4 weeks. Because it is made for you, it is a final sale, so take a moment to check size and finish before you order; we are happy to help.
