The Nákar lamp is more than just lighting, it’s a piece of art that blends tradition with modernity. Its design draws inspiration from the elegance of Chinese lanterns, the iconic Disa lamp created by Coderch in the 1950s, and the sculptural presence of the Totem by LZF and Forestier.

Handmade with natural materials, Nákar pays tribute to totems, symbols full of meaning that tell the stories of places and their people. Its flowing design evokes the clusters of dates from Canary Island palm trees, a nod to the landscapes that surround the hotel.

At its core, the lamp features opal white methacrylate tubes, measuring 2.3 and 3.3 meters, which house double LED strips to cast a soft, warm light. The shades, each with a 1 meter diameter, are meticulously handcrafted from flat ribbons of natural rattan pith, then hand-painted in soothing tones of white, ocher, and green.

Because of rattan’s delicate nature, the shades were designed to be fully removable for easy assembly and maintenance. Steel cables and tensioners suspend the 16 lamps at a precise height of 4 meters above the ground, while their electrification was cleverly integrated above the 15-meter ceiling to ensure effortless upkeep.

The Nákar lamp isn’t just about lighting up a space, it’s about creating an atmosphere, telling a story, and connecting design with nature in a way that feels authentic and timeless
