Placa is a new lamp by Gonçalo Campos . The lamp shades are placed on a wooden board, creating a stage on which other objects can be placed. The lamps point towards the other essential element in this composition, the switch, creating a special dynamic between all of the elements. The switch is also placed on the wooden board instead of in the cord, making it a part of the lamp, and not just an appendix. A lamp that despite its simplicity boasts character and highlights its structure and materials.
