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 updates a historical object that was thought to have long been relegated to the attic among old furniture. An object of strong character, this lamp is also a tribute to the iconic historic abat-jour, 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, while putting it in quotation marks as if it were a line from a poem. Without creating a new lamp, the designer chose to preserve the abat-jour’s form under a glass case, complete with a plaque engraved with the name of the style. The feeling, when looking at Miniteca, is that of a museum piece to which one wants to pay homage. Miniteca humorously presents these atmospheres, 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 bulbs. The models offered are for now represented by three different historical styles: Victorian Grandeur, Renaissance Cupola and Ottoman Tulip.
