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

Playful and ironic, Miniteca is the table lamp designed by Ron Gilad for Flos. A lamp that aims to enliven the space with a surreal and playful spirit. Miniteca creates an atmosphere that updates a historic object that was thought to have long been shelved in the attic among old furniture. An object with a strong character, this lamp is also a homage to the historic abat-jour, but also the poetic affirmation of its definitive sunset. The designer Ron Gilad did not want to transform or draw 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 quotation from a poem. Without creating a new lamp, the designer decided to preserve the abat-jour’s form under a glass display case, complete with a plaque engraved with the name of the style. The impression, when looking at Miniteca, is that of a museum piece to which one wishes to pay homage. Miniteca humorously offers these atmospheres, adapting them to today, presenting itself as a lamp that condenses the past to look to the future, also thanks to the new generation of energy-saving halogen. The offered models are currently represented by three different historic styles: Victorian Grandeur, Renaissance Cupola and Ottoman Tulip.
