Big Bang ceiling white
About this product
Architonic ID: 1340666
Year of Launch: 2005
Wall/ceiling lamp with reflected and diffused light. The lamp consists of 6 different shaped slabs, in translucent white or colored methacrylate, secured to the mount by two small metal rods. Wall or ceiling mounting plate and mount, housing the lighting technology part, made of aluminium color epoxy powder coated die cast zamak.
Concept
Irregular and apparently random intersections of spatial planes create a volume around the light source and produce the dynamic character of the exuberant ceiling lamp designed by Enrico Franzolini and Vicente Garcia Jimenez. By evoking the dynamism of an explosion, the methacrylic planes- available in the white or two-coloured (white/grey or white/red) versions – seem to escape the central luminous core and explode in all directions.
A highly plastic luminous body, characterised by the intrigues of light and shade, of great visual impact and yet aerial, ideal for single-handedly personalising interiors of various styles.
Big Bang provides an intense, decisive and direct light. The particular arrangement of the surfaces guarantees maximum reflection and at the same time avoids dazzling, whilst offering a different lighting effect from all angles.

Designers
Vicente García Jiménez graduated at the Faculty of Experimental Sciences in Castellon de la Plana. Later he moved to Barcelona where he worked at Santa & Cole. There he developed lighting and interior furniture designs. At this time he developed an interest with the environmental aspect of designing these items, constructing his first prototypes in this field. During this time he also got interested in other environmental aspects such as light and shadows, a variety of materials, textures and colors. While in Barcelona he was involved in a small filming project which was directed by Jose Luis Montesinos. A strong need to discover and develop his craft brought him to Milan where he met the work of Enrico Franzolini. There, he was given the responsibility to design a collection of lighting material for Karboxx. At this time, he is searching for a way to design items through basic materials, using much imagination and inner resources while creating a complicated effect. In other words, what seems complicated is actually simple, using for example light and shadows to create this atmosphere. Presently, Vincent lives in Udine (Italy) and works with Foscarini, Palluco Italia and Karboxx, he also collaborates with Enrico Franzolini in the same field.
