Basica Minima Portable Table Lamp

Design: Santiago Roqueta, Santa & Cole Team, 2021 for Santa & Cole.

The portable version of the Básica Mínima preserves the essence of its wired counterpart, championing a more artisanal and approachable modernity, now enhanced by the practicality of technology. Its cylindrical structure is crafted from birchwood and features two types of shades: hand-stitched beige parchment and hand-ribboned parchment, both meticulously assembled by artisans. With a gentle tap on its graphite-finished base, the lamp switches on and off, making it a light and practical companion.

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