Deconstructed light

Flamingo takes the traditional luminaire apart: the translucent diffusers and the separate LED sources make airy compositions that turn light into a suspended sculpture. The pendant combines function with a light, poetic form.

Hovering forms

Flamingo presents the pendant as an airy presence that seems to hover in space. Its delicate forms float lightly while a diffused light is cast, and the range of models and finishes lets it fit different spaces.

A place, an emotion and a bird

Antoni Arola ties Flamingo to the Delta del Ebro, a natural park of fruit orchards, paddy fields, dunes, lagoons, beaches and marshes whose horizontality, verticality and light recall a bird in flight. The feeling he attaches to it is "a watchful calmness". In the image of the bird, the cables are the legs and the neck, the shades are the body and the wings, and the LED terminals recreate the beak and the claws.
