Flos - Ron Gilad - Table lamp - mini teak - Plastic

Cheerful and ironic, Miniteca is the table lamp designed by Ron Gilad for Flos. A lamp that aims to animate the space with a surreal and playful spirit. Miniteca creates an atmosphere that currentizes a historic object that was thought long since stored in the attic among old furniture. A piece with a strong character, this lamp is also a tribute to the historic bedside lamp, but also the poetic statement of its definitive sunset. The designer Ron Gilad did not want to transform or take inspiration from the shapes of the historic model, but decided to take it as it is, yet putting it in quotation marks as if it were the citation of a poem. Without creating a new lamp the designer decided to preserve the form of the bedside lamp under a glass case, complete with a tag engraved with the name of the style. The impression, looking at Miniteca, is that of a museum piece to which one wants to pay homage. Miniteca humorously offers these atmospheres by adapting them to today, presenting itself as a lamp that condenses the past to look to the future, thanks also to the new generation of energy-saving halogen. The offered models are for now represented by 3 different historical styles: Victorian Grandeur, Renaissance Cupola and Ottoman Tulip.
