The Cable Light is the exclusive lamp designed by Matteo Ragni and made by Creative Cables. Inspired by the Skyway Monte Bianco cable car, it transforms the iconic cable into a work of modern lighting art and contemporary décor. A true design object celebrating the mountain and Italian engineering, characterised by our components and our iconic fabric cables.
The Cable Light is part of a series of objects that tell the story of “excellence at high altitude in harmony with nature”. Skyway Monte Bianco is not just a cable car reaching 3,466 metres. It’s an idea: bringing people closer to the mountains and the sky, broadening horizons and crossing boundaries,” says Matteo Ragni, winner of the Compasso d’Oro in 2001, about his works.
And specifically, it explains that this object consists of “a generously shaped light bulb embraced by a basket made up of 8 fabric-covered arms, reminiscent of the structure of the iconic cable car that allows us all to enjoy panoramic ascents and thrilling descents on snowy slopes”. In detail, “the upper handle, which echoes the cable car carriage, thanks to the angled end, serves as a useful hook for hanging the light bulb from cables, branches, or simply for holding it comfortably in your hand. A solid turned wooden base provides stability and a pleasant tactile feel.”
