Nimba is the first lamp designed by Antoni Arola at the end of
the 90s, as one of the first luminous halos on the market. It is
a floating ring formed by a metal profile, and an inner shade
that diffuses the light. The concept of an indoor, rather than
an outdoor, shade was very innovative at the time. The lamp’s
name is inspired by “the nimbus or halo around holy images,
which can be seen, but is not there”. Nimba shines light on
the centre of nowhere to radiate out in all directions.

Used as a single unit or in sequence, Nimba provides the
perfect amount of soft light to create a mythical atmosphere,
suitable for both transit spaces and secluded areas. The
family features four LED lamp models in different diameters,
seamlessly fusing simplicity and high-technology.

Premio
Selección ADI-FAD. Barcelona, 1997
Nimba es la primera lámpara diseñada por Antoni Arola y na-
ció a finales de los 90 como uno de los primeros halos lumi-
nosos. Es un anillo flotante constituido por un perfil metálico
en forma de L que alberga la fuente de luz y una pantalla inte-
rior que la difunde. El concepto de pantalla interior, y no exte-
rior, fue muy innovador en su día. Nimba debe su nombre a ser
“como el nimbo o aureola de las imágenes santas, que se ve,
pero no está”, y por su geometría compositiva ilumina hacia
el centro de la nada para irradiar su luz en todas direcciones.

Nimba crea ambientes incorpóreos y espirituales, que
alumbra difusamente pero con eficacia, siendo óptima tanto
para espacios de tránsito como de recogimiento. La familia
presenta cuatro modelos según su creciente diámetro, to-
dos ellos realizados con LED, que integran simplicidad y alta
tecnología sin el menor esfuerzo.
