Flamingo

The poetic and sculptural qualities of light are expressed beautifully through the FLAMINGO pendant lamp, created by designer Antoni Arola. FLAMINGO is one of the new light fittings presented by Vibia for 2016, a deconstructed assemblage that provides users with a versatile light fitting that allows radically different sculptural forms and lighting effects.

By separating the light source from the diffuser which is configured by a series of independent conical rings supported by fine metal wires, the FLAMINGO lamp provides an ambient indirect light for living spaces or a more focused task light over dining tables or other surfaces. “The challenge, to project onto the shade instead of surrounding the light source. The result, an ethereal effect, where the fitting and its luminance are deconstructed.” (designer Antoni Arola)

The LED light sources are placed in different positions depending on the desired lighting effect. They can face upwards or downwards, projecting light onto the shade, which is manufactured from a translucent thermoplastic material that helps providing a beautiful effect. The entire composition is threaded through a hanging cable which becomes part of the overall sculptural silhouette. This innate versatility provides interior designers and architects with a sculptural fitting that can adapt to the proportions of any space whether it be public or private, allowing for multiple configurations depending on the light required.
