‘colorin’ table lamp eduardo albors for lamsar

“Colorín is a lamp that was dreamed rather than designed'. At that time, I designed wooden toys (construction toys, vehicles) for small children, using turned woods lacquered in basic colours and assembled with simple systems such as rods, dowels…, ” explains designer eduardo albors. “I suppose that, through what they call ‘professional deformation’, I imagined this lamp in my dreams. I got up and I drew it just as the final result would be.” Colorín colorado is a table lamp created by eduardo albors in 1979 and produced by the valencian lighting firm lamsar. Comprising simple geometric shapes assembled and lacquered in primary colours, this lamp, as is completely logical after the explanation given by its inventor, is reminiscent of wooden construction toys. Albors’ philosophy for work has always been to seek balance, “the purpose of the product, apart from innovating, is to propose and contribute, to satisfy a demand by the consumer: that of reasonable design. In this way we respond formally to criteria of being up to date and economically to commercial aspects.” Very good condition.
