The Triclinio, Pentaclinio, Eptaclinio series of pendant lamps evolves from the composition of the Clinio lamp (1967), whose modules are repeated to form a large lighting cluster. The lamps are mounted on the ceiling by means of a matte chrome-plated brass bar and use the same diffuser experimented on the Omega hanging lamp already in 1964 and subsequently in the wall-mounted Clinio lamp, testifying to the success of the original design. The diffuser, already used in the Omega, Erse, Clitunno and Clinio lamps, has an internally frosted opaline glass diffuser produced by “horizontally removing two slices from a smoked glass sphere placed around an inner opaline globe”.
