Hipatia Portable Lamp

The centre of our project is the human being”. Arturo Alvarez's ethos of wellbeing and positive emotion is reflected in the designs he creates and the techniques he uses; all his lamps are inspired by the natural environment – as well as the arts and crafts traditions - of the brand’s base in north-western Spain. Although the company’s been designing and producing award-winning, contemporary hand-made lighting for over 20 years, Arturo Alvarez also has one foot firmly rooted in the future. Having already developed an innovative mesh-like material, he’s always seeking to introduce new technologies which help increase sustainable production and energy efficiency.
