Cirio
,
From a single glowing element to large floating compositions, Cirio is a living system that adapts to spaces, offering a wide range of creative configurations. From a minimal gesture to a monumental constellation, it transforms the atmosphere through light.
Inspired by the solemn beauty of ceremonial candles, Cirio offers a contemporary take on an age-old cultural relationship with light. Wax candles—intimate objects by nature—have long celebrated light as a symbol of gathering, festivity, or quiet reflection.
Across cultures, lamps have transcended their practical function to become elements of ritual and symbolism. Cirio builds on this legacy while offering an exceptionally flexible and versatile design solution. Through repetition and density, it gives rise to modular compositions that reinterpret the concentric arrangements of Istanbul’s Hagia Sophia, the grandeur of classic chandeliers, or the cascading lights of palatial architecture—all in a distinctly contemporary language. Without ostentation or excess ornamentation, Cirio achieves equally theatrical effects through refined simplicity.

From a minimal gesture to a monumental constellation, Cirio expands and transforms space through light, playing with repetition and density.
It reinterprets the concentric lamps of mosques, the great classical chandeliers, and the cascades of light found in scenographic architecture, translating them into a contemporary language.

Four finishes and infinite forms
Cirio was originally conceived in porcelain, invoking the warmth of a candle (from the Latin cereus, “of wax”). Today, the system is composed of four types of shades, each responding to a different way of illuminating.
The porcelain by Sargadelos offers a very warm and enveloping light. In its pana version, it provides greater texture and three-dimensionality. Opal glass, with higher luminous efficiency, is the most neutral and voluminous alternative. Finally, due to its opacity, brass provides a more focused illumination.

Cirio Pana Mayor
Cirio Pana Mayor, with a shade of equal height and width, produces a focused, broad light that softly surrounds the space. Its ribbed texture evokes the softness and relief of corduroy fabric, through a subtle pattern of fine vertical grooves.
