Design by Martín Azúa, 2008.
Made in Spain by LAB Arturo Alvarez.

Custom tailor Nim to your own tastes in any one of 12 different colors of hand-cut stained glass. Nim is a shape reduced to the minimum expression that can be used in series, creating distinct effects and forms. A set of combinations that allows for a creative and personal layout. What’s more important: the whole or the parts? Every Arturo Alvarez stained glass diffuser is handcrafted one-by-one by trained artisans in limited series. Each Arturo Alvarez original is yours alone; no two pieces are exactly the same. Following the painstaking production process, Arturo Alvarez himself engraves his signature and the series number onto the finished diffuser, certifying that the craftsman has exceeded Arturo's personal standards for quality. Arturo Alvarez does not manufacture lights; they create original works of art whose beauty is optimized by illumination.

The glass panels are produced in a more contemporary method. They are adhered to an opaque acrylic substructure. Therefore light is only emitted from the open bottom of the diffuser, providing direct illumination.
