The Falkland lamp has a tubular structure. It is a spontaneous shape, generated by the tension of the inner forces with which it is made. When Munari talks about spontaneous shape he refers to a part of his research done on natural organisms, in which materials and shapes seem to correspond to the functions they carry. This lamp corresponds more than the others to the requirements that Munari considers fundamental for a correct design: simplicity, efficiency, minimum storage bulk and maximum return.
