Overview

Designed in 1972, the Tatu lamp was originally produced by Metalarte, Spain. Santa & Cole has reissued this fabulous, award-winning design – an engaging piece that resembles a periscope that allows the user to twist sections of the lamp in several directions in order to orient the emitted light. Tatu’s form was conceived as three sections that can rotate independently to adapt its use for a desktop, bedside table, or shelf – it can even be used as a wall light. Santa & Cole’s re-edition of Tatu is enhanced through its use of dimmable LED technology that allows the user to not only adapt the light intensity but it makes the source considerably less hot and longer lasting that the original production. Tatu’s moveable converging lens also allows the user to adjust the focal length of the light. Manufactured by Santa & Cole.

Designer

Andre Ricard

André Ricard (born 1929 in Barcelona, Spain) studied at the Academy of Warnia Zaraszescka where a Polish artist taught him in the Bauhaus tradition. Inspired by what he learned from Zaraszescka, he began a fruitful collaboration with Puig fragrances in 1963, designing the packaging for their perfumes. Making original designs for the renown Spanish perfume company led to his recognition in the world of design. Accordingly, in 1992, he was offered the opportunity to design the torch for the Olympic Games in Barcelona, which became one of the highlights of his career. He went on to design the Olympic Museum's cauldron (1993) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the Hockey World Cup (2001). André Ricard has also produced distinguished work in the design of everyday objects such as the Copenhagen ashtray or the Menhir lighter, as well as lamps such as the Tatu and Fontana, edited by Santa & Cole. Behind each of these seemingly simple objects lies a deep and thoughtful process concerning functionality and practicality. In the words of Ricard: "To design is to afford the objects of our daily life the simplest and most sensible forms so that they can best fulfill the function for which they are intended."
