The project
Tulipa is a lamp designed and produced at Archicercle by Tomi Maicas. Its presence combines the object's silhouette with the play of light passing through its structure: the volume is defined as much by the gaps as by the pieces themselves.
The tall, elongated body is formed from a diagonal lattice of interwoven pieces. Repeated diamond-shaped openings create an openwork shell with an oval outline, leaving the light within visible rather than concealing it behind a continuous surface.
When illuminated, the lamp gives off a warm-looking light and casts a pattern of shadows across the floor. The lattice works at two scales: it shapes Tulipa itself and extends its pattern into the surrounding space. This relationship between silhouette and light is the defining feature of the piece.
