Flamingo

Flamingo by Alvaro Siza for BD Barcelona. Designed by architect Alvaro Siza Vieira in 1972, the Flamingo lamp is part of design history. Its mobility and subtle structure beautifully fit into space with delicate and dynamic functionality. Alvaro Siza Vieira is one of the most modern and influential Portuguese architects on the international scene. For decades, he has presented a simple, coherent and clear embrace of creativity and contemporary design. The Flamingo Lamp follows this clarity and is a design reduced to its essentials. The halogen version was introduced in 1985 and continues to produce a balance of space and volume, sitting unimposingly regardless of the environment. Functional as always. Its coherent line and unembellished backbone produce a subtle curve and intimate light. It dispenses with ornaments. It is ungarnished and stripped-back, working coherently within any space.
