Story
Glass as a tribute to the table lamp
Jaume Ramírez is interested in the archetypal table lamp, in which a lampshade distributes light in all directions, and from that starting point he proposes a new glass design with more streamlined shapes.
The lamp brings to mind oil lamps and candles, which also illuminate from the bottom up. Its designer uses the language of glass to express the fragility of the present moment, and the lamp pays tribute to the table lamp, a fixture with a long history.
