Miguel Angel Ciganda’s collaboration with B.lux began in 1984, when they took their first steps into decorative lighting. Already established as an interior designer and decorator through the studio he founded in 1969, and having recently entered the field of industrial design, he eagerly brought his knowledge and inspiration to lighting design, resulting in pieces such as Dolce, Clon, and the classic Veroca. Each of these fixtures is marked by simplicity, elegance, and versatility, easily achieving the goal Ciganda sets for himself in all his work: timelessness.
Ciganda’s work, which has included furniture, décor, design, and lighting for banks, hotels, office buildings, bars, restaurants, and the incredible variety of facilities at the 1992 Universal Exposition of Seville, has earned him dozens of awards and honours throughout the course of his career. Even so, he remains essentially humble and focused on his designs, rather than their designer.
Philosophically, Ciganda believes that the furniture, lighting, and décor of any space should grow organically out of its architecture—but not at the expense of functionality. He is committed to the practicality of design, devoting attention to ergonomic soundness before becoming concerned with aesthetics. Moreover, of all concerns relevant to design, he regards the designer’s own ego and style as the least important.
And yet, despite this opinion, and though Miguel Angel Ciganda rejects the very concept of the designer-as-author, he nonetheless hopes to leave his own indelible mark on every design he creates. It is a contradiction he acknowledges, and one for which he can certainly be forgiven.
Veroca is a ceiling lamp featuring a non-flammable textile diffuser, light-up body and four tension springs, with respective supports. The textile diffuser can be machine washed and ironed without losing its features. The combination of various textile diffusers allows for multiple arrangements. Available in white or natural white. The Veroca comes in four sizes, with fluorescent bulbs. The systems: G13 fluorescent version is sold in conventional, electronic or dimmable-electronic versions; the G5 and 2G11 fluorescent versions, in electronic or dimmable.
