About this Product

The Montjuic floor lamp by Artemide, designed by Santiago Calatrava in 1990, is a sculptural lighting piece defined by its striking geometric balance, where two symmetrical triangular forms—the base and diffuser—appear to float in equilibrium around a vivid red sphere, creating a dynamic sense of tension and poise; inspired by the Olympic flame of the Barcelona Games, the design translates architectural language into light, combining technopolymer and methacrylate materials to produce a soft, indirect glow while standing as a poetic fusion of engineering precision and expressive form, characteristic of late 20th-century experimental design.

Santiago Calatrava

Santiago Calatrava is a Spanish architect, structural engineer, and designer renowned for his signature fusion of architecture, sculpture, and engineering; born in 1951, he studied architecture in Valencia and structural engineering in Zurich, developing a style characterized by fluid, organic forms, dynamic structures, and a poetic sense of movement inspired by nature and the human body, with works spanning iconic bridges, museums, and furniture, including the Montjuïc lamp, all exemplifying his ability to translate structural precision into elegant, sculptural expressions.
