shaped like a book, oscar tusquets' bib luz lamp discreetly integrates into any shelf

The Bib Luz lamp, designed by Oscar Tusquets, effectively illuminates book spines on shelves, representing a unique blend of functionality and artistic elegance.

Tusquets states, 'If I place a lamp on a shelf, all the lower ones remain in shadow. Only by bringing the light source forward can I illuminate all the spines of the books.'

The design of Bib Luz embodies Tusquets' avant-garde spirit, merging utility with creativity, as seen in its seamless integration with bookshelves.

Ingo Maurer’s Oskar lamp is a tribute to Bib Luz, showcasing how Tusquets' original design influenced later creations despite differing execution.
