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 animate the space with a surreal and playful spirit. Miniteca creates an atmosphere that updates a historical object that was thought to have been relegated to the attic among old furniture. An object with a strong character, this lamp is also a tribute to the historic bedside lamp, but also the poetic affirmation 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, 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 abat-jour under a glass display case, complete with a plaque inscribed with the name of the style. The feeling, looking at Miniteca, is that of a museum piece to which one wants to pay homage. Miniteca offers these atmospheres with irony, adapting them to today, presenting itself as a lamp that condenses the past to look toward the future, also thanks to the new generation of energy-saving halogen. The models offered so far are represented by three different historical styles: Victorian Grandeur, Renaissance Cupola and Ottoman Tulip.
