La Bella Durmiente
SANTA & COLE
by Gabriel Ordeig, 1985
Born in 1986 as a defiant response to an era dominated by cold halogen lights and stark metal structures, this lamp championed colorful fluorescence (now LED) when this light source was considered blue and soulless. “It was a time of artistic expansion without predefined limits–very sweet, very beautiful. Critics ignited a debate to draw a line between art and design, an absurd distinction that only stifled creativity. That’s when La Bella Durmiente was born.” — Xano Armenter
