La Bella Durmiente Menor is a column of printed light, a slender lantern whose patterned shade glows from inside like a painted paper screen. It is the shorter sister of the original Sleeping Beauty floor lamp, scaled to sit comfortably beside a sofa or bed.
The Design Story
Nina Masó and Gabriel Ordeig Cole first drew La Bella Durmiente, Sleeping Beauty, in 1985, and the Menor followed in 1988 as a lower version of the same idea. The concept borrows from geometric abstraction: a vertical canvas of color that becomes luminous when switched on and reads as an artwork when off. The shade is cardstock printed with the Giclée technique, a fine-art printing process, then laminated to protect the surface. It is capped top and bottom with black lacquered wood, giving the printed body a clean frame. Inside, an aluminum structure and a transparent methacrylate tube carry the LED module and keep the light even along the full height.
About the Designers
Nina Masó co-founded Santa & Cole in 1985 and has shaped its catalogue of lighting, furniture and books ever since.
Gabriel Ordeig Cole co-founded Santa & Cole in Barcelona in 1985. His ribbon-shade Sísísí lamps and the Mesita GO table reflect the editor’s taste for simple, warm and lasting objects.
Why You'll Love It
- A Santa & Cole classic from 1988 by Nina Masó and Gabriel Ordeig Cole

Made for Real Life
Switched on, the whole printed surface lights up softly, so it works as ambient glow rather than a reading lamp. The foot switch sits at floor level and the legs adjust if the floor is uneven. Dust the shade gently; it is laminated card, not fabric. Dust the laminated shade with a dry, soft cloth and wipe the lacquered wood with a barely damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Where It Shines
Place it in a living room corner, beside a bed or at the end of a hallway where its color can be seen from across the room. It pairs well with walnut, black lacquer and plain plaster walls that let the print take the lead.
Who This Is Not For
It is a decorative glow, not a task light, so pair it with a reading lamp if you need focused light. The 135 cm (53.2 in) height suits side positions; for a taller statement, look at the full-size La Bella Durmiente.
