Renowned designer Antoni Arola has contributed to Spanish brand Santa & Cole’s expansive catalog of lighting products with ‘Lámina’: a range of minimalist pendant lamps made of simple shapes and curved metal sheets, which create a soft glow that gently illuminates indoor spaces.
The exclusive design comprises a slender horizontal aluminum bar cast in matte black—a design gem in itself—suspended from the ceiling by matching black cords on both ends. The light source, a strip of LEDs, is embedded within the bar; it remains invisible and projects light upwards onto a shade made of a single curved sheet of white steel. ‘Lámina’ comes in six variations and offers a wide variety of uses—smaller or larger, alone or as a system. Dimmable and with perfected angles for optimal diffusion, all variations define and harmonize spaces; they can provide diffused or more directional light, and, when arranged in groups or used in repetition, supply a whole room with general light.
