Collection Story
Origin
Jaume Ramírez started from the archetypal table lamp, whose shade sends light in every direction, and reworked it in glass with cleaner, more defined shapes. The result is a mix of geometric forms: a cone and a sphere arranged around a cylinder that gives ambient light from below.
Design Language
The glass shows the light source and also speaks of purity and lightness, and the structure seems to stand effortlessly. The glow from below brings to mind oil lamps and candles, while the glass expresses the fragility of the present moment. Fragile is intended as a tribute to the table lamp.
Key Pieces
Fragile began as a single table lamp and grew into a collection with a new size, extending to a second table lamp, pendants, a chandelier and wall lights. Its compositions use the sphere, the cone and the cylinder in different combinations, in three finishes (aluminium, black and matt white) and two colour temperatures, 2200K and 2700K.
