Cirio Circular
Antoni ArolaThe Cirio system was devised with the aim of using LED technology for gentle lighting in public areas, and was inspired by the majestic lamps in the world's great mosques. Its versatile structure allows for differing diameters to produce a range of formats. The circular structures can be combined to create rich compositions.

The mainstay of the Cirio series
Inspired by the majestic lamps of the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Antoni Arola designed Cirio in 2010. Today, the family has expanded and is presented as a system which can easily be set in a variety of compositions.
The shade, beautifully designed, is reminiscent of a candle for its shape, texture and the warmth of its light. The varying shades combined with LED capsules can be used to create different atmospheres: from the porcelain of Sargadelos (Galicia, Spain) that creates candle-like warmth, to translucent opal glass, and the opaque elegance of brass.
The polyvalent structure of Cirio Circular and Cirio Oval allows for circles with differing diameters to produce a range of formats. Cirio Oval combines straight lines and semi-circles, producing lamps that are as large as necessary.

Antoni Arola was awarded the Spanish National Design Prize in 2003, and he is recognised as one of the most outstanding members of Spanish design. His common-sense approach has allowed him to create a range of brilliant designs, from a perfume bottle to a lamp, to large scale interior design projects. Arola finds a symbolism and a way of understanding the universe through foreign cultures, such
as African cultures, which he incorporates into his work and his daily life. His works also show his sculptural savoir-faire, his love for drawing and his interest for contemporary art.
