Dresslight Barcelona
Q.: Tango is your creation for Dresslight. A perfect se-
ries for hotels thanks to the functionality and comfort
it offers. Tell us a little about the creative process.
With the Tango family, we aim to bring the lamp to the
user, bring it closer.
The idea came from analysing the interaction between
lampshade and user, and we wanted to represent this
relationship graphically.
"We aim to bring the
lamp to the user,
bring it closer."
Q.: How would you define the Tango series?
Tango is a lamp which seems simple. However, that
simplicity is surprising thanks to its exquisite details.
Q.: This is a design with a fairly timeless character, isn't
that right?
Yes, we haven't tried to follow any fashion, just solve a
problem.
Q.: What can you tell us about Wakufu?
Wakufu was born of Dresslight's relationship with fa-
brics and the world of fashion.
We use the "classic - modern" fashion of Eastern cultu-
re as a reference.
Q.: Wakufu has a very strong, highly aesthetic presence,
a very original design. How did the idea come about?
And how did the creative process progress?
Like I said before, we delved deeply into fashion and
we took Eastern haute couture designers as a referen-
ce. From there, we started drawing free and expressive
forms which would represent the conceptual values we
intended. Without imposing any technical limitations of
any kind on ourselves, we came to the present form of
Wakufu.
Q.: What would you highlight in this creation?
The whole collection, all the elements integrated with
each other, forming an iconographic concept.
Q.: What are the ingredients that you consider most
important for achieving a unique design?
The first is not to feel pressure to get a great design.
Work hard and enjoy what you do. If after that you get
a great design, perfect. Sometimes you create a great
design that doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's
all relative.
