After confirming the excellent functionality of the table version, we developed a floor design that perfectly fulfills the task of illuminating the reader seated in their armchair. Yet beyond this obvious function, its legendary charm and theatrical touch allow it to find its place in all kinds of spaces, adding character and presence wherever it stands.
The tatú, or armadillo, is a friendly mammal protected by a dorsal shell that shields it when it curls into itself. This lamp recalls a more playful era, when Europe’s middle classes entered the age of mass consumption and their children launched into a sweeping aesthetic revolution—one in which everything bent and twisted, from Andy Warhol to The Beatles to Mary Quant. Everything could be expressed in a new way. Everything stood with quiet pride. Everything was alive with color.

Tatu
During a transatlantic flight, between readings on Argentine wildlife and the soft glow of his seat light, André Ricard imagined a lamp that could solve a common problem: being able to read without disturbing someone sleeping nearby. That idea led to Tatu—an ingenious solution for domestic harmony.
