Lámina hangs like a single sheet of paper caught in mid-air, its glossy white grey surface catching and spreading the light beneath it. It is one of the most understated linear pendants we know, and one of the most beautiful.
The Design Story
Antoni Arola designed Lámina for Santa & Cole in 2018. The name is Spanish for sheet, and the whole lamp is built around one thin metal plane held by a slender matte black structure. Arola, known for treating light almost as a sculptural material, uses the shade as a reflector: built-in LEDs light its underside, and the glossy surface returns a soft, wide glow. Two lengths are available, the 58.7 cm (23.1 in) Lámina 45 and the 98.7 cm (38.9 in) Lámina 85, both only 14.3 cm (5.6 in) tall. The result is a pendant with almost no visual weight that still lights a table generously.
Its design has been honored with the iF Gold Award 2021 and the Delta de Plata, ADI-FAD Delta Awards 2020 (Lighting).
About the Designer
Barcelona designer Antoni Arola treats light as his raw material. Winner of Spain’s National Design Prize in 2003, he has created some of Santa & Cole’s most recognisable families, from the porcelain Cirio to Lámina, Nimba, Moaré and the Shiro lanterns.

Where It Shines
Hang a Lámina 85 over a long dining table in a white room and it almost disappears by day, then glows in the evening. A Lámina 45 suits a desk or a smaller table. It pairs with black steel, pale wood and gallery-style interiors.
Who This Is Not For
It needs a compatible 1-10V, DALI or PUSH dimmer, not included, if you want to dim it. If you prefer a warm, colored shade or a visible bulb, its cool white grey minimalism may feel too restrained.
