Tombina 165 For The Time By Antono Arola

Lámina 165 pendant lamp by antoni arola dimensions: d 179.8 x w 9.15 x h 4 cm materials: metal, plastic. Available in other sizes. A line of light and a thin metal sheet create a soft but effective levity. A marriage of the poetic and the practical, lámina is a system that upholds the benefits of reflected light by using obvious shapes in different formats and with different shades that conceal nothing and show everything. Santa & cole is a small, independent and global editor of design products, with its roots in belloch (barcelona, spain). We have been editing since 1985, when the company was first founded. By editing we mean preparing a work for the public domain, we mean adapting an item for everyone’s use. What a book editor does with stories, we do with objects. More than eighty creators have contributed to a rich catalogue of furniture and lighting products originating in very different contexts, by renowned designers such as antoni arola, miguel milá, andré ricard and llmari tapiovaara. Acute and attentive to quality and detail, santa & cole outsources all of its industrial production to an extensive network of suppliers, mainly in spain, but also in other countries such as japan, where the washi paper for our tekiò lamp is made. Our mission is to build, safeguard and disseminate knowledge through design objects. Objects whose quality is recognisable at the touch of a hand, and that enrich people’s lives, whether at home or in shared environments. Our philosophy is more modern than futurist and we are more intrigued by silence than by stridency. Our focus is not the present market, but the future one; not barcelona, but the world; not fashion, but history. All our lamps can be wired according to each country. If sold to the usa it will be wired for the usa for instance. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no official proof of authenticity, however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising from misattribution, up to 250v (europe/uk standard).
