Garbí is a wall lamp, a single solid volume made of soft, regular surfaces that meet to create precise edges.
The indirect light from the LED source combined with that of the space enhance its solid image, gently shaped surfaces and angles, for a striking graphic effect.
The LED light reflects off the wall to create a sense of contrast, sliding into the opening to light it up and form the delicate image of an arch on the wall below. The opening adds depth to the object.
Garbí is a lamp designed to function even when it is off, through ambient light, taking on a different character.
“I designed Garbí as if it
was a sculpture, removing
material from an initial
volume and gradually observing
how the light slides
over its surfaces, accentuating
the edges. I observed
the sunlight in Valencia
for hours and hours, shaping
the surfaces and
revealing the volumes.
Then I attempted to transmit
that sensation of
balance, vitality and force
in Garbí, a much smaller
object made to light
architectural interiors all
over the world.”
