Paola Navone's HAT Collection Reimagines the Lampshade with Artisan Flair

2 hours ago7 min read1 comments

In a design landscape often dominated by stark minimalism, Paola Navone’s HAT collection for Contardit offers a refreshing jolt of personality and warmth. The iconic designer has turned her attention to the classic lampshade, transforming this everyday object into a piece of sculptural art.Navone, renowned for her global artisan sensibilities, cloaks the shades in plush, tactile fabrics and accents them with intricately knotted rope details reminiscent of traditional maritime crafts. The result is a collection that feels both nostalgic and entirely novel—a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication.More than mere lighting, each piece serves as a focal point that evokes the charm of a sunlit Italian piazza or a cozy, well-traveled home. In an era of increasingly smart and impersonal home gadgets, the HAT collection is a deliberate celebration of the human hand, offering soft, ambient light that enriches a space rather than simply illuminating it. It’s a testament to Navone's enduring philosophy: that the most compelling design tells a story and invites you in.
