BC1 / BC3 Swing Arm Wall Lamp by Santa & Cole Team
BC1 / BC3 Swing Arm Wall Lamp by Santa & Cole Team

The BC wall lamp is a swing arm reduced to essentials: a satin nickel arm, a small beech handle to steer it and a parchment or ribbon shade. It comes as the plug-in BC1 or the hard-wired BC3.
The Design Story
The Santa & Cole Team designed the BC series in 1995 as a family of wall lamps that share one shade and one language of materials. The satin nickel structure is lightened by a beech wood handle, so you move the light by touching wood rather than metal. The shade, 20 cm across, is made in stitched beige parchment or in wrapped ribbon in natural, red-amber or black. BC1 has a rotating arm, a plug and a built-in dimmer; BC3 keeps the rotating arm but is wired directly into the wall.
About the Designer
The Santa & Cole design team develops pieces in-house in Barcelona, including the hand-ribboned GT and Trípode lamps and the Básica family.
Why You'll Love It

- Plug-in with dimmer (BC1) or hard-wired (BC3)
- A 1995 Santa & Cole Team design
Made for Real Life
Swing the arm in to light a pillow or out to light a chair, and the shade keeps the bulb out of sight. The parchment gives a warm, even glow; the ribbons give more texture. The beech handle stays pleasant to touch. Dust the shade with a soft brush and keep it dry. Wipe the satin nickel and beech handle with a dry cloth.
