Nimba

Nimba

A floating ring of light that combines architectural elegance, soft illumination, and minimalist design into a timeless sculptural centerpiece

The Concept of a Floating Halo

Nimba was the first lighting design created by Antoni Arola and remains one of Santa & Cole's most distinctive architectural pendants. Inspired by the halo surrounding sacred figures, the lamp appears to float effortlessly in space, creating the illusion of a luminous ring without visual weight. Its name derives from the idea of a nimbus—something that is perceived through light rather than physical presence.

Innovative Lighting Geometry

The unique circular construction directs light toward the empty centre of the ring before allowing it to radiate evenly outward in every direction. This carefully engineered geometry produces soft, indirect illumination with exceptional visual comfort while emphasizing the sculptural form of the fixture. The result is an elegant balance between decorative presence and functional lighting performance.

Available in Multiple Models

Nimba is available in four models, allowing designers to select the ideal size and lighting performance for different architectural environments.

The models differ in the following technical characteristics:

• Dimensions
• Weight
• Luminous Flux
• LED Power – available in 45W, 65W, 95W, and 140W

Apart from these differences, all models share the same floating ring design, premium materials, integrated LED technology, warm 2700K colour temperature, CRI 90 colour rendering, and consistent architectural appearance throughout the collection.

Architectural Applications

Available in several diameters, Nimba adapts effortlessly to both intimate interiors and expansive architectural spaces. It is particularly well suited for hotel lobbies, reception areas, conference rooms, galleries, restaurants, offices, luxury residences, and other interiors where lighting serves as both a functional element and a visual statement.

Premium Materials & Craftsmanship

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and durable white PVC, Nimba combines robust construction with refined aesthetics. Integrated LED technology delivers excellent energy efficiency, long operational life, and warm, comfortable illumination while preserving the lamp's remarkably lightweight visual appearance.
