J.A. Coderch 'Columna Cister' Wood Suspension Lamp for Tunds

J.A. Coderch 'Columna Cister' Wood Suspension Lamp for Tunds

Pablo Picasso declared one of J.A. Coderch's bentwood designs to be "the most wonderful pendant lamp of the world." This remarkably sculptural and organic piece existed for nearly half a century as a forgotten pencil sketch designed by the renowned architect. It was recently rediscovered and lovingly brought to life by TUNDS, executed in sustainably-sourced wood to the highest standards of craftsmanship.

The iconic 'Columna Cister' lamp has stood the test of time as a true work of art. This authorized re-edition embraces all the technical, functional, material and aesthetic requirements Coderch established, including those which could not be resolved in his time due to technical limitations. Today the 'Columna Cister' is executed in natural Oregon pinewood (FSC) veneer specially treated to gain flexibility. 

One available.

José Antonio Coderch (1913-1984) is considered one of the most valued architects in Postwar Spain. Often described as the architect of modernity, his works are still seen as vivid examples of contemporary architecture and his legacy includes hundreds of listed buildings all over Spain. Coderch gained significant recognition throughout his career, winning the architecture FAD awards in 1960 and 1972.  Founded by Rafael Salvador, the great-nephew of the J.A. Coderch, TUNDS is the exclusive manufacturer of Coderch's designs. The lighting is created from the original pencil sketches recovered from Coderch's archive.
