Floor lamp designed by Jordi Vilanova, a leading figure of Catalan design in the mid-twentieth century. The piece is inscribed in the organic and handcrafted modernism of the period, where the worked wood acquires a sculptural and expressive character, in dialogue with noble materials such as brass.

Vilanova, recognized for his mastery of woodworking and his contemporary reinterpretation of Mediterranean tradition, developed an elegant and timeless language that combines functionality and decorative presence.

He trained in the Busquets workshop, later collaborating with Lluís Gili. He was awarded the Delta de Plata Prize (ADI/FAD, 1964) for the Delta stool. His work is represented in the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, and among his most renowned designs are the Tiracord and Billar chairs, as well as the Tartera and Petit rockers.
