Cabana Ceiling Light
DESIGNED BY Isaac Pineiro
FOR Arturo Álvarez
The Cabana lamp aims to offer a sense of seclusion and shelter similar to the Galician cabins, or cabanas, that were used to protect raw materials or as a shelter against inclement weather.
The lampshade is made using the 3D knitting method, a technique commonly used in the textile industry but seldom applied to lighting. This makes it possible to create seamless lampshades in three dimensions without producing excess fabric. The aluminum canopy, the fabric and gravity do the rest. The parchment diffuser provides the weight needed for the lamp to take its shape. It also filters the light to produce very comfortable, homogenous illumination, much like the shelter of the cabanas. This is very easy to mount and simple to disassemble when replacing the lightbulb.
