Almendra

An ambitious project in terms of both design and materials, and a synthesis of poetry and sustainability achieved through sublime design and cutting-edge technology. Almendra comes in 3 different models: Almendra Arch, Almendra Organic, which recalls the branches of a tree, and Almendra Linear, made up of modular petals that can be grouped in 3, 4 or 6 modules. Almendra complies with the ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) protocol and was designed with sustainability in mind. Its petals and diffusers are made from a special polycarbonate derived from a by-product of paper production, and no glue is used to assemble the product. Almendra can be completely taken apart, which means every single part can be recycled. Patricia Urquiola has chosen a palette of highly natural shades inspired by the colours of the almond tree. Beautiful matt finishes such as Off-White, Nude, Ocher and Anthracite are complemented by two metallic colours, Bay Blue Metallized and Lilac Metallized.

All Almendra models allow the direction of the light to be adjusted during installation. Each petal can be rotated in 60º increments to create a different configuration and lighting mood. The petals can be arranged in the positions indicated (A-B-C-D-E-F), provided the symmetry of the fitting is respected so that the lamp remains balanced once assembled.
