Mónica Pinto de Almeida Unveils the Cubes Table Lamp, a Unique Lighting Concept
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mónica Pinto de Almeida draws inspiration from early 20th-century architecture, Bauhaus, and German modernism to create the Cubes table lamp, a fusion of light and graphic design. The lamp, exhibited since 2018, features three geometric forms stacked in a balanced composition, crafted from solid wood with options of oak, walnut, or palisander veneer. The asymmetrical positioning of the forms creates a different profile on each side, offering a constant rediscovery of the piece.
The lamp's LED circuit with a diffuser softly distributes light downwards, creating an intimate and elegant ambiance. The piece, produced using CNC technology and skilled handwork, stands at 330mm in height and 250mm x 270mm in width. Since 2021, the lamp has been on display at Codigo design gallery in Porto, Portugal.
Mónica Pinto's design journey began in 2015, culminating in the completion of the Cubes table lamp in 2018. The piece reflects meticulous research into artistic and architectural movements, including Bauhaus style, Russian Brutalism, and German minimalism. The lamp's design overcame challenges of maintaining a balance between aesthetics and functionality, while working with the living material, wood, to achieve perfection in its finishings.
