ARBA Lighting by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez

Lamps and lighting accessories, that fit the bill when it comes to style, design and functionality are the hardest to find. ARBA designed by Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez is classic yet contemporary, urbane as well as natural. Designers have used native maple, to create an archetypal form which provides an understated simplicity.

As the light comes through the cylindrical diffusor, it highlights the natural features of the maple. The wood is oiled to enhance its unique characteristics of high resilience, stability, and exceptional texture. ARBA brings forth comfort and sustainability with good design.

The diffusor used for the vertical illumination is made of solid acrylic with highly polished edges to direct an even, glare-free light.

ARBA is available in four versions: as a standing, table, hanging or wall lamp. The shade for the standing and table lamps is held by five interwoven strips – also in maple – which are smoothed down and oiled. The soft edges provide the lamp with a visual delicateness in contrast to the vigor of the materials used. In a slow-drying process, the strips are dried naturally to maintain their form. A steel cable allows the suspension light to swing gently and the crimson textile fibre power cable adds even stronger emphasis to its appearance.

The ARBA family of lamps is now available at The Lollipop Shop Prices start from £465.
