Living in a small space without giving up comfort is possible. Here’s an example of a Colombian tiny house featuring lights by Creative-Cables.
They’re an affordable yet practical and versatile housing solution where you’ll find all the comforts of a traditional home despite the small size. Tiny houses let you live freely and make the most of your space, which is why they’re booming all over the world.
Built mostly with green building techniques, using wood or other ecological and eco-sustainable materials, tiny houses are insulated both acoustically and thermally. And they are completely customizable to fit any style: industrial, country, shabby chic, Scandinavian…
The solution chosen for this temporary mini house of about 20 square meters, created by Jorge Posada and Juan Carlos Correa for KZs Modulares and presented at ExpoCamacol 2022—the leading architecture and design fair in Colombia—was to blend a more minimalist, clean style with a rustic touch, using linear modules and panels with exposed chipboard alternating with white walls and large windows. Natural light takes center stage, but when the lights go out, it’s the Creative-Cables lamps that shine.
The star of the kitchen corner is a pendant lamp with two drops, mounted on the wall with the lampshades shining directly onto the work table.
Coordinated but with a lampshade in a different shade, the single pendant above the bed brightens the space while still keeping the living and sleeping areas somewhat distinct without creating a mismatch that would weigh down such a small room.
Creative-Cables lamps are also featured in the bathroom of this tiny Colombian house: a single pendant with a concrete lampshade lights up the sink, the focal point of the bathroom. Chic and just the right amount of minimal.
And outdoors? The mini house is perfect for making the most of the EIVA system products, designed for outdoor use. Outdoor lamps are available with a single socket, with multiple drops, or as string lights, with an exposed light bulb or complete with lampshade, with a ceiling canopy or plug-in (all 100% customizable in the configurator). Whether you want to light up a single corner of your garden or throw a full-scale party, there’s a solution.
