Small light collection is a collection of four different hanging spot lamps, composed of four different models in four different dimensions that take advantage of the fascinating plastic properties of the ceramics.
I get my inspiration by observing people and their needs in our global and pluralistic culture being sure that everyone would love carrying home a little bit of what shapes the zeitgeist of the modern era, even if in a modest way.
Rodrigo Vairinhos
The concept taken to create the small light collection is something not totally describable, but is something that came from the designer’s interest to play with geometrical shapes.
The minimal design nature of this collection is advised to any environment and each model can be used separately or when combined between them, the creation of a fully dramatic composition.

The designer
Born in Lisbon, Portugal, Rodrigo Vairinhos studied Industrial Design at the Lusíada University in Lisbon.
The Designer highlights his work with the exceptional use of expression and playfulness linking it to a monotone-to-classic color pallet as most colors tend to fade, coming and going as time goes by, and Vairinhos creations are meant to remain and resist any trend waves. His products are highlighting design modesty and the tendency to a renewed use of the so called traditional materials, such as wood or ceramics and a growing interest by the impeccable traditional craftsman’s hand work and technique. Vairinhos product “strategy” is the innovative quest for the poetical minimalism directing towards the acute and the naive, and of course by geometry, so metaphorical and evocative, emotional and poetic at the same time.
