Flamingo lamp
Free-standing lights from BD Barcelona, Designed by Alvaro Siza
Product description
What distinguishes the Flamingo from any other lamp is its utility. Its unusual height, the quality of light, its neutrality, its apparent fragility in structure (which is variable and can be disassembled) and its mobility of fine wings. All these virtues allow for us to use the lamp in unexpected ways.
Detachable structure and foot of chromiumplated iron rods. Orientable wings in iron painted in aluminium-effect, for light direction.
Dimensions
49x95x99H.cm

Concept
The extraordinary thing about the Flamingo cannot be appreciated in photographs, nor even in detailed design plans. What distinguishes it from any other lamp is its use. Its unusual height, the quality of its light, the neutrality and apparent fragility of its variable and detachable structure, the mobility of its very delicate wings, all allow for unsuspected uses. It can be a substitute for a candle at dinner, light up a picture or bookrest, allow reading in bed without disturbing the possible bedfellow.
