Amigo

An archetype of simplicity, in which nothing is extraneous. AMIGO (Spanish for “friend”) is the first joint project from this father and son team, who exemplify two generations of Spanish design. A central opaque disc holds a light source surrounded by a translucent, vertical shade, that diffuses luminosity and produces a glare-free halo of filtered light. Its airtight resistance protects the electrical fittings and also prevents insects from getting in, so that it stays clean and maintains an even glow. The design was commissioned by Santa & Cole as part of the remodelling of our headquarters in Belloch; it repeatedly comes into sight on pergolas and passageways, walls and ceilings. The Amigo wall lamp is an exercise of impeccable simplicity, where nothing is superfluous.
