Trípode G6 Ribbon Table Lamp in Black by Santa & Cole — three black rods, a hand-wound black ribbon drum, and a warm glow that softens any room.
Designed in-house by Equipo Santa & Cole in 2002, made by Santa & Cole of Barcelona.
The Design Story
Founded in 1985 and based in Belloch, outside Barcelona, Santa & Cole works like a publisher of objects: an editorial committee chooses a design, the technical team refines it, and nearby workshops make it. The result is a catalogue that values quality over quantity and pieces built to be used for a long time. The ribboned shades are a house signature: every day, Santa & Cole’s workshops turn thousands of meters of ribbon into lampshades by hand.
Why You’ll Love It
Trípode is one of those lamps that looks right almost anywhere. Three thin rods carry a generous drum, and the hand-wound black ribbon catches light along every turn, so even switched off it has texture and depth. Lit, it glows warm and calm.
Made for Real Life
It is a full-size table lamp, 75 cm tall, light enough to move and simple to dust. Pair it with the hanging GT5 Ribboned Drum Pendant Lamp by Santa & Cole for a matching ribbon look. Power off first; a soft dry duster for the shade, a water-damp cloth for metal, then dry. No abrasives.

Questions We Hear Most
Where does the name Trípode come from?
From its three black metal rods, bundled together to carry a wide fluted drum.
Who designed the Trípode G6, and when?
Equipo Santa & Cole, the company’s in-house design team, in 2002.
How is the Trípode shade made?
Cotton ribbon is wound around the drum by hand, turn after turn. Santa & Cole’s film “Dressing the Light”, in the gallery, shows the process.
What light does the Trípode G6 give in the evening?
A warm, layered glow through the black ribbon, while the top diffuser keeps the bulb itself out of view.
Does the Trípode G6 work in a bedroom? (our styling advice)
Yes, on a nightstand at least 20 in wide or a dresser; with a dimmable LED it becomes a gentle reading-and-winding-down light.
How should I care for the Trípode’s ribbon shade?
Lamp off, then a soft dry duster over the ribbon; keep water for the metal rods only.
