Iconic "Sauce" Phase lamp, designed by Tomás Díaz Magro in the early seventies: an emblematic piece of Spanish mid-century design, sought after for its combination of functionality, style and sculptural character. The cylindrical lampshade with the base tracing a light that contributes to generate a directed illumination. The design is inspired by the arc drawn by the branches of the weeping willow. The wooden handle also stands out, harmonizing with the black lacquered metal.

Throughout his career, Tomás Díaz Magro received numerous awards, including the IFI International Award (1988), the Brúmel Award for his prefabricated platform for Renfe (1991) and the BEDA International Award (1993). In 1998 he was part of the exhibition "Industrial Design in Spain: a century of creation and innovation" at the Reina Sofía Museum, where his work was presented as an indispensable reference of 20th century Spanish design.
