Bib Luz is a small, precise reading light by the Barcelona architect and designer Oscar Tusquets. A rotating chrome arm carries an adjustable aluminum spot, now fitted with a built-in LED.
The Design Story
Oscar Tusquets designed Bib Luz in 1986 as a compact light for reading and working. The lamp is built from a few clear parts: a matte metal body, a chrome-plated arm that rotates and a small aluminum spotlight that tilts to aim the beam. Santa & Cole produces it today with a 6 W built-in LED and a switch on the luminaire itself. A matte metal base is included and can sit to the left, center or right, and units can be linked in series with the included accessory, so a whole shelf or counter can be lit as one line.

Made for Real Life
The spotlight throws a concentrated pool of light onto a page or a desk without spilling into the room. With the LED built in, there is nothing to replace. The matte finishes hide fingerprints well. Wipe the metal with a soft, dry cloth and dust the spotlight regularly. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners on the matte finishes.

Where It Shines
Set it on a desk, a nightstand or a reading table, or run several along a library shelf or a long counter. Off white disappears against pale walls; aluminum grey suits steel and dark wood.
Who This Is Not For
It is a focused task light, not a source of ambient room light. The LED is integrated and not user-replaceable.
