Basica M1 Table Lamp

Design: Santiago Roqueta, Santa & Cole Team, 1987 for Santa & Cole.

A birchwood cylinder, supported by a heavy metal base of the same diameter, finished in bronze or nickel, elevates a variety of shades in different shapes and colors, crafted from stitched parchment or ribbon. While the balance is already excellent, it can optionally be enhanced with a wider bottom base, designed for use in communal spaces.

Básica promotes a return to natural materials, boldly challenging the dominant metallic trend of the 1980s. A defense of warmth, they reflect Santa & Cole’s founding commitment to a more human-centered, artisanal modernity, championing the essence of craftsmanship. This vision not only carved out an alternative path at the time, but also fueled the brand’s international expansion, establishing a distinct design movement across Europe.
