Inspired by the Classical urns from the frescoes in the Hall of Cupid and Psyche in Mantova’s Palazzo Te, this table lamp will stand out in any kind of décor, with its fine ceramic and timelessly elegant shape. The innovative touch technology is activated with the lightest touch on the pedestal: a simple gesture lets you switch and adjust the light in a unique tactile experience. The light source is a 7W LED strip with 3000K, 369 lumen and 100-240V voltage.
The maiden with the lamp, the beautiful mortal turned by love into the goddess of souls – Psyche lends her name to a sophisticated play of art, myth and design. The light sculpture Psyche draws from the style of Renaissance artist Giulio Romano, revisiting the ancient vase from his joyful, sensual Cupid and Psyche frescoes - and bathing it in the soft glow of the latest LED technology. With an eye to classical myth and a strong personality, Psyche celebrates the passion of beauty through the centuries.
Les First: Light of the Gods
A luminous pantheon reinventing myth in a flow of energy and imagination: light sculptures with a strong and versatile personality, a perfect fit for both classical or minimalist settings, born to satisfy the senses and pay tribute to a timeless beauty.
The Idea: Les First – Top Quality Italian Craftsmanship
All Les First lamps are inspired by the mythological subjects in the frescoes that Renaissance artist Giulio Romano painted in the halls of Palazzo Te for the Gonzaga lords of Mantua. Distinctive design, blending traditional handmade ceramic from potteries of Venetian tradition with specially created, innovative technology, makes the lamps unique in the field of lighting fixtures.
Les First’s top quality table-lamps are crafted in the regions of Lombardy and Veneto. Carefully handpicked artisan workshops craft to specification the various components, that are then assembled in the Les First atelier in Mantova.
The finest ceramics and skilled handcraft guarantee top quality together with the uniqueness of artisanal production.
Technological Innovation: The Dimmable Touch Lamp
The ceramic sculpture, core of the artistic composition, is enhanced by the innovative lighting cylinder of clear acrylic glas.
The micro-incisions, laser-engraved by CNC machines on the cylinder’s surface, ensure an even distribution of light across the whole pane.
The light is switched and adjusted through an innovative dedicated software, especially created by a technical laboratory in Verona. A microprocessor manages and processes the proximity effect of the user’s hand to control and adjust the light. The system, developed especially for Les First, turns the ceramic sculpture into a dimmable Touch Lamp, whose soft glow can be switched on and off and adjusted simply by touching the lamp’s ceramic base, without a conventional on-off switch.

Maintenance
Ceramic
Use only a soft cotton cloth to clean all Les First ceramic products. Do not use generic degreasers or products for polishing metals.
Glossy ceramic can be cleaned with a slightly moistened, well-wrung cloth, using a small amount of non-aggressive degreaser. Spray the degreaser on the cloth – and never directly on the ceramic surface.
Matte ceramic must only be cleaned with a soft, dry pure cotton cloth.
Use and Positioning
All Les First ceramic products are breakable decorative accessories. As such, they must be safely placed on a suitable bearing surface that is absolutely level. All Les First products must not be moved by dragging or pushing them across surfaces; they must be carefully lifted and laid down, with due consideration to the product’s weight, and the supporting surface’s suitability.
Les First will not be liable for damages resulting from any improper use of its product.
