Santa & Cole Diana

The Diana is a lamp that defies simple classification. From a flat round base a tall slender shaft of subtle satin nickel points skywards, becoming increasingly slender the higher it goes, seeming to pierce and pass through the shade until its tip is visible above. The shade is a beautifully simple wide white linen drum with a slight taper which appears to float cloud like around the tip of the spire. The overall effect is serene and calming and the light it gives out is crisp and pure, softened by a top diffuser. Designed in 1995 by Federico Correa and Alfonso and Miguel Milá, for the Spanish design and manufacturing company, Santa and Cole, the Diana is a welcome object of elegant restraint in a maladroit and frantic world. Available in two sizes, the larger Table and the smaller Menor, and in a floor standing version.
