SARRIA floor lamp in black, white or terracotta
With this design, Xavier Solé wanted to reinterpret classic incandescent lamps, by integrating two types of lamps into one. The dimensions of the central tube allow it to have a stable and safe lighting source to use for the hotel sector. These qualities can be appreciated in different public spaces, as well as integrated into homes. The incorporation of LED light inside the shade is subtly reflected inside the screen, creating a contrasting light environment. E-14 LED 12W.
Ink Collection - Lladró - Handmade Porcelain
This creation, handmade in glazed porcelain and decorated in black, red and yellow tones, transfers the iconography of tattoos to the world of porcelain and gives it form. And, similarly to the art of tattoo, here each element has its own meaning, in this case a declaration of love. The piece has a metal support so that it can be placed on any surface and it also has a hook on the back to hang it on the wall.
