"I have always made lamps I liked. Fashion does not interest me."

Lluís Porqueras

The Story

Lluís Porqueras doesn't care about fashion. Since setting up Stoa in 1956 and Vapor in 1979, he has been on a quest to strip away everything unnecessary. His 'Funiculí' lamp, designed in 1979 and reissued by Marset, is a masterclass in utility: a simple clamp system that just works. He pares away, pares away, and pares away until only the pure essence of a useful object remains.
