Some design objects illuminate a space. Others tell a story. The Carnation Lamp by Gabriel Tan does both. Inspired by Portugal's historic Carnation Revolution, this sculptural lighting piece transforms a symbol of peace and hope into a contemporary design object.
Its elegant structure combines slender steel stems, natural ash wood and delicate washi paper shades that bloom like carnations, creating a warm and atmospheric light. The result is a lamp that feels both light and expressive, balancing craftsmanship, history and modern aesthetics.
Designed for contemporary interiors, the Carnation Lamp is more than a source of illumination: it is a statement piece that invites reflection while bringing softness and character to a room.
We love designs that combine beauty, meaning and exceptional craftsmanship. The Carnation Lamp is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can turn everyday objects into something truly memorable.
