From the almond tree

Almendra is a modular lighting system by Patricia Urquiola, named after the almond tree that inspired it. Its softly curved modules recall seeds or shells, natural yet mechanical in form, and they are arranged in linear or branching compositions.

Poetry and sustainability

The system is a synthesis of poetry and sustainability and reflects recurring themes in Urquiola's work. Almendra received a Stylepark Selected Award in 2022.
