Alma Light Pica

PICA is a floor lamp designed by Josep Novell and Josep Puig, which features a heavy steel structure inspired by wrought-iron techniques and a wide, height-adjustable cotton lampshade.

PICA owes its name to the ancient Spanish defensive spear used to hold off cavalry charges. Thus, PICA brings us reminiscences of a distant past, so often depicted in art. Starting from this historical concept, PICA modernizes the idea of "iron forging" and combines the aesthetic of this ancient technique with the distinctive style of its two designers. What we love about PICA is its functional and sober style, its remarkably timeless design, and the soft light it produces as it is filtered through the shade. Notably, the shade can be moved up and down along the mast by means of a simple retention system, allowing it to adapt to the needs of any moment. We truly appreciate its shape and appearance, as it adapts perfectly to modern lighting requirements. It is ideal for the living room, as a reading light next to an armchair or sofa, in a home, hotel facility, the reception area of a medical or cultural center, or in classic, minimalist, and contemporary interior designs where an elegant, high-presence luminaire is required.

PICA has a total height of 152 cm. The cotton shade, available in white, dark gray, or customizable according to interior design requirements, is lined with a plastic membrane and measures 45 cm in diameter and 22 cm in height. The structure, featuring a cross-shaped base, is made of iron and finished in textured anthracite paint. It includes an E27 lamp holder that allows the user to choose the bulb according to the desired light temperature. The electrical cable is made of black textile, and the on/off switch is located on the lamp holder itself, making it easy to turn on and off while seated. PICA is not dimmable. All mechanical parts, as well as the shade, are produced locally.
