In the world of contemporary interior design—where aesthetics and functionality blend to create increasingly personal and refined spaces—Ceramica Flaminia presents Tub-Lamp, a new collection of ceramic pendant lights designed by the Japanese studio Nendo. A concept that is both simple and revolutionary: transforming objects originally created to hold water into luminous sculptures with strong visual impact.
From Basin to Light: The Birth of a New Lighting Concept
The Tub-Lamp collection stems from the desire to rethink traditional bathroom products, reinterpreting both their shape and meaning. Elements usually intended to contain water are flipped and redesigned, taking on a completely new role within the home environment: no longer merely functional objects, but refined designer lighting fixtures with a pure, minimalist aesthetic.
Flaminia—long recognized as a pioneer in the use of ceramic materials for bathroom design—pushes this material beyond its conventional boundaries, exploring its decorative and luminous potential.
Two Sizes, One Design Philosophy: Small and Big
The new Tub-Lamp models are available in two versions:
- Small – a compact, round lamp reminiscent of a washbasin, reimagined as a delicate yet distinctive light object.
- Big – an oval lamp inspired by the silhouette of a bathtub, transformed into an enveloping, sculptural lighting piece.
Both variants are crafted entirely from ceramic and available in various colors, with glossy or matte finishes.
Ceramic as the Protagonist of Light
Ceramic—the brand’s signature material—becomes an expressive medium in the Tub-Lamp collection. Originally conceived to contain water, these forms are inverted and turned into light diffusers capable of creating soft, atmospheric illumination suited to modern bathroom lighting and beyond.
The unique texture of ceramic reflects light with a warm, essential, and elegant glow, enhancing the sculptural presence of each lamp.
A Nendo Project: Minimalism and Poetry
Nendo, renowned for its minimalist and poetic approach, has reinterpreted Flaminia’s iconic bathroom elements with a fresh and unexpected perspective. Tub-Lamp embodies the language of functional simplicity, transforming familiar shapes into lighting objects with strong aesthetic presence.
The result is a collection perfectly aligned with current contemporary interior design trends—ideal not only for private homes but also for hospitality and retail spaces seeking refined, sculptural lighting solutions.
Tub-Lamp: A New Vision of Light
With Tub-Lamp, Ceramica Flaminia continues its path of innovation, demonstrating once again how ceramic can be a protagonist not only in bathroom furnishings but also in modern lighting design.
An object that surprises, inspires, and illuminates: a new way of experiencing ceramic.
