EDREDÓN A freezing night under the duvet,
the light filtered through, warm and soft.
No matter how cold it was outside,
the seams outlined a reticulated glow,
and by moving the fabric,
I could shape a thousand different projections of light.


This lamp takes the form of that experience. A cozy, huggable, and warm light. The light itself had to meet these qualities—not the structure that projects it. To illustrate this, we refer to Readymade 01 by Normal Studio; although the structure is rigid and cold, the light it emits is not. It’s diffuse, soft. Another lamp that, in my view, achieves the same effect is Làmina by Antoni Arola, published by Santa & Cole in 2018; the light is perceived through the surface it reflects on: a white concave sheet. Both lamps, regardless of the structure that contains the light, manage to create a homogeneous, organic, and delicate atmosphere.

On the other hand, we do not disregard the importance of mobility. Interacting and playing with the fabric is essential. Making the light interact not only with the fabric but also with us will be key. The resulting lamp, then, is a metaphor for the comforter—for the nightly encounter with uncovered sheets, as previously described.

Edredón was selected to be part of the exhibition Inspired in Barcelona: Luce (2025), which explores the field of lighting through a perspective that connects the past, present, and future, within the framework of Milano Design Week. The installation, curated by Stefano Colli, is organized by the Barcelona Creativity & Design Foundation and promoted by the Regidoria de Cultura i Indústries Creatives de l’Ajuntament de Barcelona through the Disseny Hub Barcelona (DHub), and by the Government of Catalonia through ACCIÓ – Catalonia Trade & Investment.

“This exhibition features projects by students from the EINA Bachelor’s Degree in Design: Francina Ayuso, Clara Barrantes, Laia Poy, Rocío Rodríguez, and Guillem Solans, developed within the course Design of Lighting Element, taught by Jordi Blasi.” quoted EINA

The ones above are the pictures I took the night I came up with Edredón. The deadline for the conceptual delivery of the lamp was very close, and I still didn’t have any ideas. It was mid-October and it was already getting cold, and although I found the comforter to sleep warmer, there was no way to find the sheet that covered it. I left that problem for another day, stretched out, and tried to sleep. There, wrapped in fabric, trying to get warm, I ended up even putting my head underneath. Thanks to this and my insomnia, I managed to notice the curious way the light came through the seams and folds of the comforter. It was wonderful. I started playing with the fabric. By moving my feet, I managed to get a new light configuration each time. That’s when I decided this would be the concept for the lamp: a fabric that projects light through its folds and seams, something you can play with to create many configurations.
