Imported from Barcelona

A timeless table lamp that is a beacon of modern design. The Moragas captures the pragmatic temperament of one of Spain's great philosophers of form. A central column of sapeli wood supports a generous combination of light and shadow. On/off switch is located on cord. Design by Antoni de Moragas Gallissa, 1957.

The unusual shade is made of bookbinding tape. Because the ends of the tape are thicker, they create eloquent strips of light. Moreover, they heighten the impression of verticality in what is essentially a wide, round shade. It is said that Moragas had this lamp on his desk and that he used the spaces between the tape to hold calling cards and memos to himself. Moragas was a daring, rebellious architect, promoter of modern people-friendly architecture.

Dimensions 18"D shade, 3.6"D base, 24.8"H. Uses 3 X 40W 120V E12 (candelabra base) incandescent lamps (not inlcuded).

Santa & Cole

For 20 years now, Santa & Cole has lived for industrial design, an art consisting of focusing on everyday objects in order to seek a better use experience, thereby leading them to reflect upon material culture. Hence, Santa & Cole edit elements of domestic and urban furniture and lighting, plant elements (which are living matter) and books (which are likewise alive). A range that is only apparently disperse, converging upon a single concern: not to accumulate, but rather to select; not to enjoy quantity, but rather quality.
