Vaghe Stelle
Antoni de Moragas SpàEnvisioned during the restructuring of an old textile warehouse, Vaghe Stelle features two concentric rings from which delicate glass pendants suspend at different heights, ending in 18 carbon filament bulbs. Its discreet ambercoloured light evokes far-off stars in the night sky. Naked and relatable, it shows off its component parts, unabashed.

A dreamlike star at night
Inspired by the bare lamps of Viennese designers Joseph Maria Olbrich and Adolf Loos, Vaghe Stelle also takes its name from Giacomo Leopardi’s song, Le Ricordanze, which refers to the “Vaghe stelle dell’Orsa” (the vague stars of the Big Dipper). This lamp by Antoni de Moragas Spà, architect and son of Antoni de Moragas Gallissà was envisioned during the restructuring of an old textile warehouse in Barcelona, that became Brasserie Flo in 1982.
Two concentric brass rings hold aloft as many as 18 carbon filament bulbs, suspended by delicate glass pendants at different heights. Vaghe Stelle exudes an exquisite ambercoloured light, like a wandering star in the night sky.
Son of the architect Antoni de Moragas Gallissà, one of the pioneers of the Modern Movement in Spain, Antoni de Moragas Spà has combined his professional activity as an architect with university teaching and interior and furniture design. Having received a PhD in Architecture in 1985, he won several awards in this and other fields, such as interior design, over the course of his career.
