Nagoya is made of thin vertical strips of poplar wood attached to a discreet circular structure comprising metal rods. Poplar is a beautiful, soft wood that is almost knot-free. In 1961, the lamp was the first winner of the Golden Delta ADI-FAD award for the best industrial design produced in Spain at the time, and it remains an elegant and unfussy solution. The poplar tree, characteristic to river banks and wetlands, produces a white wood that is soft and almost knot-free. The wood needs to be felled before autumn in order to preserve its whiteness and flexibility. Pioneering designer Ferrán Freixa chose to create the Nagoya Lamp from this abundant material. Thin vertical strips are attached to a small, circular metal rod structure to create an oriental-style lamp with a Zen feel. The lamp was the first winner of the Golden Delta ADI-FAD award for the best industrial design produced in Spain back in 1961. General description: Lampshade made of thin wooden strips. With plug. Electric cable length: 4 m / 157.5”
