The Catellani & Smith Atman table lamp was Enzo Catellani’s first experiment with a LED light source, an idea that came to him by chance, or perhaps by magic. It all began with a trip to India, where he came into contact with the intensity of a culture that combines silence and chaos, spirituality and misery. Here Enzo Catellani discovered holy oval stones and decided to recreate the same shape using glass. The name ‘Atman’ comes from a Sanskrit word meaning “soul”.
