Malumi

Design Description

The MALUMI B lamp is a striking fusion of applied art and 1980s aesthetics. Its name, inspired by the word “malumi,” which means “sailor” in Tamil, evokes travel, discovery, and the search for new forms. The lamp’s design draws on the Memphis movement, known for its bold approach to color, geometry, and form, while maintaining modernist simplicity and functionality.

MALUMI B features the collection’s signature flat-oval, geometric shade, whose form was designed to maintain a balance between proportion and distinctiveness. This is a deliberate nod to modernism, in which simple forms and clean lines were meant to emphasize modernity and order. The white version highlights the purity and geometric precision of the design, making the lamp an elegant, striking element of the interior.

The MALUMI B version was designed as a pendant lamp with a compact, horizontal form. Its narrow width, combined with its elongated shape, gives the lamp a sense of visual lightness while still serving as a distinctive element of the interior design. The light shade of Signal White RAL 9003 gives it a fresh, minimalist character and reinforces the design’s geometric expression, blending inspiration from the Memphis aesthetic with a modern approach to simplicity and proportion.

The color, geometry, and deliberately minimalist form make MALUMI B an almost sculptural object—a contemporary piece of furnishings that serves both a functional and decorative purpose. The white surface highlights the lamp’s shape, its proportions, and the distinctive design of its suspension mechanism. It is a lamp that can both subtly complement an interior and serve as a bold, graphic accent.

Lamp Components and Functionality

The lamp body is made of metal and aluminum, which ensures the structure’s rigidity while keeping its weight to a minimum. The entire lamp is finished in a clean, bright Signal White RAL 9003, which emphasizes its geometric form and gives the lamp a fresh, elegant character.

MALUMI B is equipped with a built-in LED light source, so it does not require a separate bulb. The integrated LED module ensures even and soft light diffusion, combining functionality with energy efficiency. Two color temperatures are available: 3000K, which provides warmer, more atmospheric light, and 4000K, which offers a neutral color suitable for more functional applications.

The lamp is suspended from two 147 cm-long fabric straps, which emphasize its horizontal, graphic form. Additionally, a 190 cm-long polyester-braided cable is used, providing a practical connection between the fixture and the electrical installation.

An integral part of the design is a white, metal ceiling cover measuring 42 cm in length. Its color has been matched to the lamp’s body, ensuring that all elements form a cohesive, uniform composition.

The lamp measures 48 x 5.2 x 38 cm, and the total suspension length is 180 cm. As a result, the MALUMI B can be successfully used both as a single fixture and as part of a larger lighting arrangement.

Application and IP20 Protection Rating

MALUMI B is designed for indoor use in dry environments. Its compact, horizontal form makes it a perfect fit above a dining table, coffee table, kitchen island, bar, or in commercial spaces.

The Signal White RAL 9003 color allows the lamp to serve as a subtle, decorative accent, bringing lightness, freshness, and visual order to the interior. When paired with a minimalist interior, it creates a cohesive, harmonious whole, while in more expressive spaces, it can serve as a bright counterpoint to intense colors and darker surfaces.

The pure white shade pairs well with both neutral tones—such as gray, beige, ecru, or black—and bolder color combinations. It pairs particularly well with natural wood, stone, concrete, and metal furnishings. It can also accentuate bright, monochromatic designs where form, light, and proportions play a key role. As a result, MALUMI B can serve as both a subtle complement to a design and a distinct element of a larger, thoughtfully designed composition.

The IP20 protection rating means that the lamp is intended for indoor use in environments without direct contact with water.

Handcrafted and Unique

Each MALUMI B lamp is hand-assembled to order, with attention to the finest details. The hand-assembly process ensures high-quality craftsmanship and control over every element of the finished product.

The MALUMI B is not just a random interior accessory—it is a thoughtfully designed object where functionality meets expressive form. Its bright white color, geometric shape, and distinctive suspension method create a lamp with a distinctive yet timeless personality.

It is designed for those who view lighting not only as a source of light but also as an important element of interior architecture. MALUMI B in Signal White RAL 9003 brings lightness, purity, and a contemporary take on applied art to any space, while remaining functional and timeless.
