Aplomb Coluna

The Aplomb project explores the technological
and expressive possibilities of concrete, a
rough yet at the same time appealing material,
achieving a leap of scale and genre: from large
contemporary architectural building to a small
designer lamp. Aplomb floor lamp recalls
a burning torch, to be grabbed and moved
easily to where it is needed. Its light beam
is an intense up-light, but it creates no glare
because it is completely screened from view
by the shape that encloses the light source,
that visually takes up space for observers
up-front, but with a smaller thickness when
observed from the side. Light and material are
its absolute focus, without any other elements
which would mar its pure design and style.
