Name That Manufacturer

The green lounge was a prop for the carpet...but I liked the lounge better...Can't tell if it would be comfortable, but for some reason I find it very aesthetically pleasing. I think that because it is green and sensuous I automatically dream myself into lying in a field, complete with sweet smelling grasses, and that is a wonderful accomplishment for a piece of furniture...

Who made this lovely guy?

Old but still interesting LUCEPLAN

-Zio and Nipotino are table and floor lamps in injection-moulded white polycarbonate. These new “support lamps” take a fluorescent bulb housed underneath the top. This creates an indirect light and produces a graphic play of visually restful effects.
The dimensions of the Zio are designed to allow the lamp to be placed with ease on a desk without taking up too much room. Its top can in fact comfortably accommodate a sheet of typing paper and the sort of documents normally associated with a workstation.
The Nipotino also can be used in innumerable different ways: from its ideal placement next to the computer keyboard, to its function as a discreet luminous presence.
