Greta brings a small, warm object to the wall. Gabriel Teixidó designed it in 2019 using oak, natural fiber and a leather handle, materials that feel good to look at and to touch.
Carpyen speaks of a natural, warm and human atmosphere, and the little lamp is built to deliver it.
The Design Story
Teixidó shrank the idea to a wall light: an oak structure, natural or black, carries a shade just 18 cm (7.1 in) across and 36 cm (14.2 in) high. The shade is saguran, a natural fiber, or white, and a leather handle adds a human detail to the design. Carpyen crafts it in Barcelona, where it has made lighting since 1948.
About the Designer
Gabriel Teixidó was born in Barcelona in 1947 and trained at the city's School of Applied Arts and Artistic Trades. A freelance industrial designer since 1970, he calls himself a “fairly industrial” designer: his work avoids fashion and showmanship in favor of formal restraint and quiet usefulness. He won SIDI awards for the Bolero chair in 1986 and for the Columba lamp, made by Carpyen, in 1987, and has received the ADI-FAD Delta de Plata several times.
What interests me is that my designs are useful, that people feel comfortable with them, that they are a help.
Why You'll Love It
The pleasure of Greta is its tactile honesty. Oak shows its grain, the leather will soften with handling, and the shade throws a warm, filtered light on the wall around it. Because the lamp is so compact, it adds character without competing with art or shelves nearby. It suits a room that already values quiet craft.
Where It's Best Placed
Use Greta beside a bed, flanking a mirror or at a hallway turn where a modest, warm light is enough. It is designed for indoor, dry rooms. Have a qualified electrician install it.
