La Flaca
Press ReleaseLa Flaca is the third lamp from the low voltage trilogy. It works under the same principles as Cornucopia and Candil, but trying to be a more utilitarian and versatile lamp.
The reductionism of its design applied to minimize the number of elements and components is still in the essence of the project. Using low voltage components allows us to have the electricity running through the lamp with no need of cabling, lamp holders or any other electrical component. Having a touch dimmer included in the transformer even avoids using a switch while adding warmth and closeness to the action of lighting up your space.
The materials are left untreated and reduced to the very minimum. The copper stem of the lamp for example is exactly 1,5 m long as copper extrusions are industrially supplied in 6 m long tubes. This way making 4 lamps leaves no left overs of material. As there is no cabling involved, the material neatly distributes the electricity to the bulbs reducing drastically the amount of time needed for the assembly of the lamp.
The result is an extremely slim, minimal and clean design which grows when turning on the lamp through a warm interaction with the object.
