Set of four pendant lamps made of perforated sheet metal, lacquered in a vibrant orange with a dark patina. Their design combines a simple silhouette with a richly perforated surface, which transforms the light into a vibrant pattern of dots, stars, and radial motifs.

These lamps are part of the context of Spanish design from the 1960s, when architects and interior designers explored lightweight, economical solutions with a strong environmental impact for homes, public spaces, and exhibition installations. Perforated sheet metal made it possible to create pieces with great luminous expressiveness through a direct, almost artisanal—yet fully modern—use of the material.

The model is linked to the design language employed by various Spanish architects of the decade, including Javier Carvajal, designer of the famous Spanish Pavilion at the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair. In this climate of renewal, light ceased to be a secondary element and became an essential part of the architectural atmosphere: filtered, graphic, and deeply scenographic.
