Kondo Lamps by Christian Vivanco

Posted on October 14th, 2011 in Lighting

Spanish designer Christian Vivanco has created a pair of lamps called Kondo constructed from only 2 laser-cut metal sheets.

“A Kondo is the centerpiece of an ancient Buddhist temple’s garan in Japan. The origin of the name may derive from the perceived preciousness of its content, or from the fact that the interior was lined with gold.

Kondo’s shape cannot be simpler; a couple of folds in each of the sheets allow us to create a functional and expressive volume, and the scale generates a compact and tight body that emphasizes efficiency.

Kondo is produced in two versions; Kondo XL is a highly decorative element perfect for large spaces, and Kondo S works better in an intimate space, perfect for a nightstand, dresser or desk.”
