Created by Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola, Almendra is a modular lighting system with shapes and colours reminiscent of the almond tree from which it takes its name. An ambitious project in terms of design and materials and a synthesis of poetry, and sustainability achieved with the help of sublime design and cutting-edge technology.

On the road to sustainability
Almendra complies with the international Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) protocol and has been designed with sustainability in mind. Its petals and diffusers are made of a special polycarbonate that is dericed from a by-product of paper production and no glue is used to assemble the product. Almendra can be completely dissasembled meaning that each part can be recycled.
