AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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 updates a historical object that people thought had long since been relegated to the attic among old furniture. A piece with a strong character, this lamp is also a homage to the historic abat-jour, but also the poetic statement 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, placing it in quotation marks as if it were the quotation of a poem. Without creating a new lamp the designer decided to preserve the shape of the abatjour under a glass case, complete with a plaque engraved with the name of the style. The feeling, looking at Miniteca, is that of a museum object to which one pays homage. Miniteca humorously presents these atmospheres, 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 currently represented by three different historical styles: Victorian Grandeur, Renaissance Cupola and Ottoman Tulip.
