Set of four sconces or wall lamps, which allow different combinations. A couple of them are slightly wider in their tubular bodies. They are four curved methacrylate lampshades, with the flaps attached to iron hooks.

A functional and refined design in its forms, it offers a warm and enveloping illumination. Vilanova established a continuous dialogue between new materials and traditional techniques, between classic forms and their reinvention in avant-garde terms. He can be described as a modern classic, as is evident in these lamps.

Vilanova trained in 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 rocking chairs.
