Flash Lighting Table Lamp by Claudia Moreira Salles

The flash lighting table lamp in purple niobium is part of the “Sintonia Fina” limited-edition series of table, floor and ceiling lamps. This piece is made with reclaimed wood, copper and niobium – a rare mineral, found in Brazil, used mainly in alloys to strengthen steel.

The design of the Sintonia Fina series explores the contrast between straight thin lines and rounded shapes, warm and cold materials and the delicate balance of the niobium bowls on the copper stems.

Niobium: Purple
Wood: Ipe

The niobium parts of the lamps are made from sheets of the pure mineral and submitted to a controlled electrolysis process resulting in a surface with a large spectrum of colors without the use of pigments. The result is different from any stained or painted material. The wood bases come from pieces that were once architectural beams, rafters and doorsills. Copper tubes are used to connect structural parts, with its color bringing a warm touch to the piece.
