Dresslight Barcelona
Q.: Let's talk about your latest creation for Dresslight:
Hanoi.
Hanoi is a very spontaneous piece intended as a deco-
rative support light, but mainly for illumination at low
heights.
It's a wall lamp which comes from experimenting with
materials such as folded paper and processed wood.
It great warm shades and perfectly combines with cu-
rrent design trends.
It uses basic geometric shapes although the lampshade
has a conical and oblique shape.
Q.: How would you define Hanoi?
Hanoi is a different and very decorative wall lamp. It
is defined by its use of natural beech wood combi-
ned with an oblique lampshade made of paper which
diffuses the light. The colours and materials combine
perfectly together to form an attractive and compact
product.
It offers advantages because the cable is part of the
design and the user won't need any pre-installation.
Q.: Tell us a little about the creative process.
Let's say that the creative process in this case consis-
ted of three parts. The drawing or sketch in the first
phase to reach the general idea. In a second phase, we
experimented with paper, how we could fold it and the
development of it once it was folded.
The third phase was the final choice of materials and
finishes to get to the final product.
Q.: What could you tell us about your Dresslight
creations, Etna and Hanoi. Do they have something in
common?
Etna and Hanoi came through two different proces-
ses and also with different final intentions. Etna was
born from the complex investigation about the way to
mix up different materials as wood and glass. Wood
is clearly the main protagonist in Etna, but in Hanoi
it is only an additional element that refines the final
product. Etna is a sculptural piece; and Hanoi is a very
functional piece. Actually, they are quite different.
Q.:
Tell us about Etna. It is a very aesthetic piece, isn’t
it?
Etna is a sculptural piece. Each part of ETNA is unique
because is made of natural wood. Moreover, each of
these pieces of wood is enveloped by blown Pyrex
glass which protects it and makes it more magnificent.
It’s true, Etna is a design of contrasts, very stylized.
"HANOI comes from
experimenting with
paper and wood"
Q.: Where do you think Etna fits better?
I think Etna is ideal for highlight corners or to illumi-
nate areas that require an additional lighting. It is ideal
for lighting bars, benches, sculptures... and fits well in
either classical or modern spaces.
Q.: Dresslight creations have very unique names. Why
Etna?
Etna is the name of a volcano. Etna is a memorable
name, easy to pronounce. It represents the force and
beauty of nature.
