El Cubo is geometry made into a lamp. Gabriel Teixidó gave it a cube-shaped structure, which provides uniform, diffused light.
Carpyen calls it minimalist and ideal for relaxing environments.
The Design Story
Teixidó's El Cubo is built from black lacquered metal, with an outer shade finished in metallic blue grey, chrome or metallic sienna, and a white interior. Its form is a plain cube, 36 cm (14.2 in) high and 24.4 cm (9.6 in) wide. The cube spreads an even glow. Carpyen makes it in Barcelona from high-quality materials.
About the Designer
Gabriel Teixidó was born in Barcelona in 1947 and trained at the city's School of Applied Arts and Artistic Trades. A freelance industrial designer since 1970, he calls himself a “fairly industrial” designer: his work avoids fashion and showmanship in favor of formal restraint and quiet usefulness. He won SIDI awards for the Bolero chair in 1986 and for the Columba lamp, made by Carpyen, in 1987, and has received the ADI-FAD Delta de Plata several times.
What interests me is that my designs are useful, that people feel comfortable with them, that they are a help.
Why You'll Love It
El Cubo is a little modern monument for the table. The metallic finishes shift in tone with the light in the room, while the white interior keeps the glow clean. It is simple enough to disappear and strong enough to be noticed. It sits equally well on a bedside table and an office desk.
Where It's Best Placed
El Cubo is placed on a bedside table, a desk, a console or a shelf. It is meant for indoor spaces.
