Santa & Cole Corso Wall Lamp
CORSO WALL LAMP
CORSO WALL LAMP
Designed By Antoni Arola in 2007
Inspired by the paintings of artist Mark Rothko, the famous abstract expressionist, Antoni Arola designed Corso in 2007.
This wall lamp features a luminous arm that slides across a reflective background to achieve different colour tones, ranging from a vibrant red to a soft yellow.
Like a light scanner, Corso enables the brightness of the reflection to be adjusted by moving the arm over the desired colour. An original choice to set the scene and create an ambient lighting for every occasion.
DESIGNER
ANTONI AROLA
Antoni Arola was awarded the Spanish National Design Prize in 2003, and he is recognised as one of the most outstanding members of Spanish design. His common-sense approach has allowed him to create a range of brilliant designs, from a perfume bottle to a lamp, to large scale interior design projects.
Arola finds a symbolism and a way of understanding the universe through foreign cultures, such as African cultures, which he incorporates into his work and his daily life. His works also show his sculptural savoir-faire, his love for drawing and his interest for contemporary art. Antoni Arola was born in Tarragona in 1960.

He stayed for five years at the Lievore and Pensi studio, and four more at the Associate Designers, AD, a leading firm in technological design, directed by Ramón Bigas and Pep Sant. In 1994, Arola left AD and set up his own studio, Estudi Arola. Arola's first experience in the lighting field was in 1994, when he designed a series of lamps. when he designed a series of lamps.
