Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992) was an Italian-Brazilian architect, designer and scenographer, known for her bold, innovative approach that fused modernism with Brazilian popular culture. After training in Italy, she emigrated to Brazil in 1946, where she left an indelible mark on architecture and design, with a deep respect for local materials, a focus on functionality and a desire to integrate art and architecture into everyday life.
Among her most emblematic works are the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), famous for its suspended structure, and the Maison de Verre, her residence in São Paulo, which perfectly illustrates her vision of architecture in harmony with the surrounding nature. Lina Bo Bardi has also created furniture and lighting, always with the idea of democratizing design through the use of simple materials and accessibility for all.
Today, Italian brand Nemo Lighting is reissuing the LBB01 ceiling light, an original creation by Lina Bo Bardi. This luminaire perfectly embodies the essence of her design: elegant simplicity and rigorous functionality. The LBB01 reflects her commitment to timeless design, emphasizing geometric shapes and an ingenious use of light. By reissuing this ceiling fixture, Nemo Lighting honors Bo Bardi's legacy, enabling a new generation to discover his iconic creations.
