You usually don’t expect a lamp to do much more than provide a little illumination and snazz up a room, but maybe it’s time you did. Monica Armani’s Silenzio lamps are made with sound-absorbing foam and fabrics so they chase away the dark and the decibels.
But don’t expect that sitting underneath the Silenzio to be anything like putting on a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. At the most it will help minimise echos and prevent sounds from deafeningly bouncing around a large room like an underground cavern. And if you live in a house full of screaming kids and barking dogs, it’s probably a worthwhile investment. [Luceplan via Notcot]
