One of the most distinctive signs from Vietnam is the hat used by women in the countryside to protect themselves from the sun and the rain and as a basket to carry food. Nón Lá is the name used to describe this Vietnamese hat and it is also the name we selected for this lamp. This is the way we pay homage to its shape and centenary culture. The simplicity of this cone-shaped lamp, offers a lightweight and resistant structure with an avant-garde touch thanks to the decentralized light cavity. The lamp’s hood is made out of aluminium and then platted or lacquered. The cast iron base of the lamp is angle shaped, which makes it look more rude, in contrast to its subtle cone-shaped shade. Nón Lá fills the space with direct bottom light and includes a polycarbonate diffuser which hosts a dimming own-made led plate.
Bover finds inspiration in the way of life of the people who live on the shores of the Mediterranean. Because light, culture, gastronomy, crafts, and its culture are an inexhaustible source of inspiration.Bover was born in 1996 “thanks to a wonderful coincidence”. Its founder, Joana Bover, who came from the audiovisual industry, was introduced to the universe of lighting when an architect friend invited her to participate in the design of special structures made of iron for the Seville Expo '92. One project led to another, until reaching what today has become one of the most prestigious lighting companies in our country.The mainstay of the brand is timelessness. A timelessness understood as a balance between material culture, which surrounds and influences us, and trends. A trend that from Bover is explained from the contrast and order, beauty, light, culture and also elegance: principles and attitudes that we choose and transmit our ideas, "our way of seeing and feeling the life that surrounds us”.With this objective, Joana surrounds herself with designers who fit perfectly with the brand's philosophy.
