More Table lamp by Santacole
Americana
Santacole > Table lamp
The Americana series is built around a satin nickel rotating arm holding an elegant white linen shade. The arm gently swivels the light nearer or further away, while the wide metal base stays put, in an evocation of the harmonic motion of swing dancing.
Asa
Santacole > Table lamp
Asa is built of an ingenious, single, continuous tube structure which also defines the upper, handle-shaped structure for carrying. It has two colour versions: white or, in its original 1961 version, with black structure and switch. Three visible elements, structure, shade and switch, make up a beautifully-proportioned ensemble.
Babel
Santacole > Table lamp
Babel, whose name comes from the biblical story of the unfinished tower, is both a sturdy sculpture and a lamp apt for night-time intimacy. The use of alabaster, solid at the base and hollow for the shade, with no two units the same, made Babel a piece of art that began as a deliberate affront to the prevailing trends of the time.
Básica
Santacole > Table lamp
The Básica lamp champions the return to natural materials. A birch wood cylinder, which is supported by a heavy metal base of equal diameter, holds a variety of shade options of different shapes and colours, made of sewn paperboard or ribbon. In defiance of the metallic taste of the eighties.
Básica Mínima
Santacole > Table lamp
Básica Mínima is the pocket edition of the Básica lamp. On its own or with others, it combines sturdiness and lightness. The shade and finish are available in two unique versions. The first features a bronze finish base and a pleated natural parchment lampshade. The second version has a nickel finish base and a ribbon-stitched lampshade.
Básica Mínima Batería
Santacole > Table lamp
Básica Mínima Batería is the portable version of Básica Mínima. Its cylindric structure, made of birch wood, holds two lampshade options: pleated natural parchment and ribbon stitched. With a light touch, the lamp turns on and off, making it a light and practical companion.
Cesta
Santacole > Table lamp
On a stroll through Barcelona in the 1960s, designer Miguel Milá found an abandoned opal globe outside a glass factory. He took it home, and over the years, it became the heart of a large family. As its name suggests, Cesta (Spanish for “basket”) was designed to hold this fragile shade.
Cesta Exterior
Santacole > Outdoor lighting
After decades of producing Miguel Milá’s iconic design from the sixties, we have now incorporated its outdoor version. With the same aesthetic characteristics as the original and with the same lighting efficiency, it comes with an aluminium structure, in black or olive green, and a polyethylene shade, two water-resistant materials suitable for outdoor use.
Cestita
Santacole > Table lamp
The smaller version of the Cesta lamp is defined by a smaller wooden structure, always carefully polished and strongly assembled, holding the small opal glass globe in which its light is wrapped. This design, an object-lamp that creates spaces of pleasure wherever it is located, is one of its author’s most widely publicised international icons.
Cestita Batería
Santacole > Table lamp
A cordless, portable version, Cestita Batería is a lantern that creates an ambience of pleasure anywhere; depicting Chinese shadows in the garden, emanating light from any corner, or on a table. The perfect balance of technology and craftsmanship, the rechargeable lamp offers two lighting intensities.
Cestita Alubat
Santacole > Outdoor lighting
Robust yet lightweight, Cestita Alubat is ready for action indoors and out. Its aluminium structure, with a closed plastic balloon for better sealing and a rechargeable battery, is distinguished by its sobriety.
Cesta Metálica
Santacole > Table lamp
Miguel Milá learned to master the expressiveness of steel by giving it a fragile heart. Strength and emotion, angle and curve. In a duel between strength and fragility, Cesta Metálica comes with or without a soft leather handle, contrasting with the well-aimed severity of the brackets that gently hold the delicate opal globe.
Cestita Metálica
Santacole > Table lamp
Miguel Milá learned to master the expressiveness of steel by giving it a fragile heart. Strength and emotion, angle and curve. With the constructive singularity of its older sibling, ennobling whatever it illuminates, Cestita Metálica does not feature a handle, thereby signalling its willingness to stay wherever it is placed.
Diana
Santacole > Table lamp
In keeping with the calling of its creators, the Diana lamp has a timeless quality. Its metal structure and linen shade are in perfect harmony. Designed to illuminate the Mayor of Barcelona’s new offices in the run-up to the 1992 Olympics, its appearance evokes a balance between classic tradition and modernity wherever it is placed.
Duo
Santacole > Table lamp
The Duo lamp was conceived by André Ricard for “executive desks”, not only that good focal light was required when going through extensive paperwork, but also the fact that, in the face of visitors, the view of those who sat in the confidants’ chairs should not be obstructed by a large or ostentatious lampshade. Duo fulfils both purposes seamlessly. It illuminates with proximity, and does not interrupt the visual horizon. The luminous flux is adjustable by the independent rotation of its glass shades, which can be opaque to focus the light on the work surface, or translucent to provide a more general illumination too.
FAD
Santacole > Table lamp
Miguel Milá got everything right compositionally with this demonstration of industrial craftsmanship. Its cylindrical oak column creates a vertical symmetry that gracefully supports an almost cylindrical white linen shade. With no time for unnecessary adornment, FAD lamps are distinguished by their permanent elegance.
Gira
Santacole > Table lamp
The Gira lamp has all the simplicity and the profile of a classic. This lamp encapsulates all the essential elements, providing range of motion through its rotating arm and adjustable shade. Great for work, Gira is concentrated to give prominence to the light, creating desktop lighting spaces.
Lámina 45
Santacole > Table lamp
Lámina was born in a flash as a family of pendant lamps, with an exceptional lightness that knows how to be smart, to link up to one another and to constitute a system of very pleasant light. Now it also finds its way to tabletops offering a general and nuanced light.
Lámina Dorada 45
Santacole > Table lamp
In its flat and golden version, Lámina preserves the delicacy of its line through a new reflection game, very suggestive for tabletops. Simple, clean shapes laid bare and fully exposed. A visual break found no matter in which corner it is placed.
Maija
Santacole > Table lamp
Maija conveys the feeling of light typical of Baltic cities, where the streets are barely illuminated, apart from the light that streams from the windows of homes and shops; from the inside outwards. A tower composed of stacked metal discs through which its inner light filters, vibrant and inviting conversation.
Moragas
Santacole > Table lamp
A sturdy wooden cylinder supports a head with three bulbs, surrounded by a generous circular shade. The shade is made from cotton ribbon and has a thread running along the edge, reminiscent of bookbinding, and forming an asymmetry that creates a splendid contrast of light and shadow.
Sin
Santacole > Table lamp
A lamp that combines simplicity and technology to create a lucent ring of light suspended in the air. It comes in two sizes, both available in matte white or graphite, to which a shade can be affixed. Or they can be left without a shade, unapologetic. Sin broadly illuminates any work surface with direct, warm light, and does not take up space on a desk because all kinds of errant items can be kept on its base, including papers.
Sylvestrina
Santacole > Table lamp
Freed from oils, kerosene or cords, and powered by an efficient rechargeable battery, Sylvestrina, very robust in its delicacy, comes in handy for every occasion. Simply press the outer tube down to activate the switch, adjusting accordingly, to full, medium or zero strength. It is charged by induction, and its light really is that of an oil lamp.
Tatu
Santacole > Table lamp
Tatu is an object-lamp that has become a memorable icon of Spanish pop culture in the 1970s. Incorporating LED technology, the light intensity and focal aperture are easily adjustable, conducive to quiet retreat or activities that require concentration. And its friendliness is legendary.
TMD
Santacole > Table lamp
With a structure supported by a circular metal base, the while linen shade of the TMD lamp looks like a sail hoisted on a mast. Whether switched on or off, the TMD manages to add warmth to the space around it. Another example of the timeless sobriety of Miguel Milá.
Trípode
Santacole > Table lamp
Trípode humanises neutral spaces with its colourful and functional sobriety. Each one of its shade options is hand ribboned: the natural, red-amber and black; the Raw Color terracotta, green and mustard, as well as the Diplomática and Bretona stiped shades by Júlia Esqué. Switched on, it provides a characteristic, warm light, rich in nuances. Switched off, it is a small volumetric sculpture that invites immediate use.
Santacole > Styling
Life swings from side to side in search of balance. The double flame, the most subtle part of the fire, dances enchanted by its splendour. Two flames that seek each other to their centre. The simple consumption of the wick produces the oscillating movement that dazzles the beholder. Vita simultaneously elevates our spirit while rooting us to the earth. Incipit vita nova, start a new life, light the next candle.
Zeleste
Santacole > Table lamp
Inspired by an Art Déco design, Zeleste is reminiscent of Barcelona night life, with a story that takes us back to the early seventies. Its peculiarity is determined by the material it is made of: alabaster, a translucent stone that gives a very special warmth.
Americana
Santacole > Floor lamp
The Americana series is built around a satin nickel rotating arm holding an elegant white linen shade. The arm gently swivels the light nearer or further away, while the wide metal base stays put, in an evocation of the harmonic motion of swing dancing.

FAD
Santacole > Floor lamp
Miguel Milá got everything right compositionally with this demonstration of industrial craftsmanship.

Fontana Alta
Santacole > Floor lamp
Maintaining the good size of its more than half sphere lampshade and the peripheral illumination caused by its slit, we are extending the Fontana family by including its floor version more than fifty years after its creation.
GATCPAC
Santacole > Floor lamp
The GATCPAC lamp is a tribute to the group of Catalan architects of the same name who sought to modernise the approach to construction during their era. Conceived as a machine à illuminer, members of the group used to leave these lamps as a gift to their customers, symbolic of their modern outlook, by way of a collective signature.
Lámina 45
Santacole > Floor lamp
A line of light and a thin metal sheet create a faint yet effective diffusion. Lámina was born in a flash as a family of pendant lamps, with an exceptional lightness that knows how to be smart. It now stands as light sculptures that contrast with any wall finish on its back.
Lámina 165
Santacole > Floor lamp

Lámina Dorada 45

Maija
Santacole > Floor lamp
Maija conveys the feeling of light typical of Baltic cities, where the streets are barely illuminated, apart from the light that streams from the windows of homes and shops; from the inside outwards. A tower composed of stacked metal discs through which its inner light filters, vibrant and inviting conversation.
Pie de Salón
Santacole > Floor lamp
This slender synthesis of traditional lamps is a sparkle of timeless elegance created in a context of the avant-garde. The combination of materials with its symmetrical, leather-wrapped chrome centre shaft, its choice of three shade materials and eight colour options make it a paradigm of industrial craftsmanship.
Tatu Alta
Santacole > Floor lamp
This friendly lamp, a revolutionary milestone in design, is essential in any context, directing light wherever it is needed. A synonym to good design, modernity and comfort.

The 3101 model retains the sculptural simplicity of the original three-legged Ant design while expanding its distinct, expressive profile to suit a myriad of interior settings.

KOBE - Rectangular wool rug

This robust and versatile piece is constructed from high-quality New Zealand wool yarns, ensuring durability, sound-absorbing properties, and a supremely soft texture that enhances comfort underfoot. Kobe's "Ottoman" structure showcases the juxtaposition of a chunky, irregular weft with a thin, tightly-knit warp.
