Information
Balancing the robustness of solid timber with the soft lines of metal, the Bolacha lamp by Porto-based HMD Interiors is characterised by a cookie-shaped shade and an anodised gold finish.
Crafted from limewood and aluminium, the lamp uses touch-activated LED technology to offer five different light intensities. Bolacha is also completely wireless and can be recharged via a USB C cable, available with a single or multiple piece that can charge up to five lamps at a time.
“I wanted to create a light from wood,” confirms owner and designer Mónica Hedderich on the inspiration for the lamp. “The main aspect was always the wood, so I imagined this ‘bolacha’ – Portuguese for cookie – from solid timber. From there, the structure started to appear as a way to make it the star of the piece.”
