La lámpara que cuenta la historia de un joven creativo
Todas las piezas de la marca Cobermaster Concept cuentan una historia, porque todas ellas fueron pensadas, diseñadas y producidas en base a un concepto.
Pero que se sepa: esta pieza tiene una historia especial detrás, que la marca se enorgullece de compartir ahora.
Durante el largo periodo de confinamiento, que se hizo sentir a causa de la pandemia del Covid-19, muchos niños se quedaron sin acceso a las clases presenciales, y otros tantos que, por necesidad, tuvieron que acompañar a sus padres al trabajo, por lo que que pudieran conciliar su vida personal y profesional.
Este fue el caso de Tiago Alexandre, a quien pertenece esta historia, y quien durante algún tiempo asistió a clases de la empresa donde trabaja su padre. El contacto con el departamento de innovación y diseño, donde se diseñan los muebles de Cobermaster Concept, despertó en Tiago un gran deseo de diseñar sus propias piezas. Movido por el entusiasmo de su hijo, su padre, Frederico Albergaria, director general de la marca, lo retó a diseñar un nuevo modelo de lámpara de pie, pidiéndole que se dedicara en cuerpo y alma al proyecto, pensando en el concepto y el respeto por el medio ambiente. ambiente. Por otro lado, si el modelo fuera interesante y factible, la lámpara sería fabricada y presentada en las distintas ferias internacionales donde Cobermaster Concept tiene una presencia asidua.
¡Se lanzó el lema! Tiago ahora estaba a cargo de un proyecto como un verdadero profesional. Durante unos días, el joven se encerró en una habitación, lejos de todos, trabajando en completo secreto. Unos días después, le presentó a su padre un boceto de su visión de la nueva lámpara. Después de observar el diseño, Frederico pensó de inmediato que el pequeño boceto podría convertirse en una de las mejores lámparas de pie desarrolladas por la marca.
Cuando se le preguntó sobre la inspiración, Tiago explicó rápidamente que se había inspirado en los altavoces altos vintage, muy utilizados en los años 80 y 90, que le gustaban mucho.
¡Se creó el primer gran proyecto de Tiago y no podría estar más feliz! Ahora faltaba un nombre para su creación. El padre sugirió que fuera JAMES ALEXANDER, la versión en inglés del nombre del creador (Tiago Alexandre), en honor a él mismo.
La lámpara James ya se ha producido y actualmente se presenta al mercado, habiendo sido una de las piezas más codiciadas en París, en la última edición de Maison et Objet, y elogiada por muchos diseñadores y profesionales del sector durante la feria.
¡La verdad es que hasta ahora nadie sabía que esta pieza fue diseñada por un adolescente en el mejor momento de sus 12 años!
La capacidad de iniciativa de Tiago acabó marcando positivamente el difícil periodo de la pandemia, despertando en él las ganas de diseñar, crear y emprender.
JAMES ALEXANDER es la nueva lámpara de Cobermaster Concept, una pieza de iluminación que nos transporta al glamour de otros tiempos, con un toque vintage e industrial. Una pieza diseñada al detalle donde incluso las lámparas tienen la forma de los altavoces que se usaban en aquella época. Más que un nuevo modelo de lámpara, es una obra de arte e iluminación capaz de dar la firma definitiva a cualquier proyecto de decoración premium, estando disponible para envío a cualquier parte del mundo.
Cobermaster Concept es una marca portuguesa dedicada al desarrollo y fabricación de muebles premium de inspiración vintage e industrial con proyección internacional.
La innovación, la sostenibilidad, el diseño y el carácter son la base de inspiración para la creación de cada una de las piezas, la mayoría de las cuales están fabricadas con la rejilla 3D, una malla de características únicas, fabricada con una tecnología desarrollada y patentada por la propia empresa.

An inspired vision of design, technology and bespoke craftsmanship previews flagship sedan
Today, Cadillac unveiled the CELESTIQ show car, a vision of innovation and purpose that previews the brand’s future handcrafted and all-electric flagship sedan.
Conceived to lead Cadillac’s electric future and inspired by the brand’s 120-year heritage, it serves as a touchstone for the Cadillac design and engineering teams, who continue to develop CELESTIQas it moves closer to production.
“The CELESTIQ show car is the purest expression of Cadillac,” said Magalie Debellis, manager, Cadillac Advanced Design. “It brings to life the most integrated expressions of design and innovation in the brand’s history, coalescing in a defining statement of a true Cadillac flagship.”
In developing the show car, the design and engineering teams immersed themselves in the artisanship and customization that defined early Cadillac sedans such as the bespoke V-16 powered coaches of the prewar era, and the hand-built 1957 Eldorado Brougham. The CELESTIQ is the culmination of that heritage, brought to life with innovative production methods and new technologies.
“Those vehicles represented the pinnacle of luxury in their respective eras, and helped make Cadillac the standard of the world,” said Tony Roma, chief engineer. “The CELESTIQ show car — also a sedan, because the configuration offers the very best luxury experience — builds on that pedigree and captures the spirt of arrival they expressed.”
Designers drew further inspiration from classic architecture such as the mid-century masterpieces of architect Eero Saarinen, along with other iconic American designs, which made era-defining statements when introduced and endured with distinctive timelessness.
Realizing and infusing those influences within an Ultium-based EV architecture resulted in a clean-sheet expression for the CELESTIQ show car that considers the entirety of travel as a curated experience — one intended to evoke an emotional response. The result is a vehicle that makes a magnetic first impression and cultivates a permanent personal connection.
“We’ve combined the beauty of function with the beauty of form,” said Laetitia Lopez, creative designer, Cadillac Color and Trim. “We had to reconsider all aspects to immerse the customer, all of their senses, and create a connection with the vehicle through the finest genuine materials, exceptional detailing and advanced technology.”
www.cadillac.com
The show car previews some of the materials, innovative technologies and hand-crafted attention to detail harnessed to express Cadillac’s vision for the future. Highlights include five high-definition, advanced LED interactive displays, including a 55-inch-diagonal advanced LED display, along with expected industry firsts such as a variable-transmission Smart Glass Roof and Ultra Cruise1, General Motors’ next evolution of available hands-free driver assistance technology which Cadillac plans to offer on CELESTIQ.
The Smart Glass Roof features Suspended Particle Device (SPD) technology that allows for four zones of variable lighting, enabling passengers to fine-tune their cabin experience for completely personalized comfort and visibility. Additionally, the 55-inch-diagonal advanced LED display introduces a passenger display with electronic digital blinds, an active privacy technology, which is designed to allow passengers to enjoy video content while blocking it from the view of the driver.
While they are previewed on the show car, these technologies and more will make CELESTIQ the most advanced vehicle ever from Cadillac. Availability for the production version of CELESTIQ will be announced at a later date.
GM is investing $81 million to support its assembly at GM’s Global Technical Center, the landmark campus originally designed by Eero Saarinen and the heart of the company’s engineering and design efforts. The CELESTIQ will be the first production vehicle built2 there since the center’s inauguration in May 1956.
Additional details on the CELESTIQ production model will be announced later this year.

It instantly brings back memories of the legendary Audi Sport quattro S1 with which the four rings used to charge to the summit in the famous Pikes Peak Hill Climb event, aka the “Race To The Clouds:” Audi is presenting the Audi S1 e-tron quattro Hoonitron that has been exclusively and uniquely developed for American drift artist Ken Block. The all-electric one-of-a-kind car will be the protagonist in a new video that Block is producing together with his team for release in the next few months.
This is Ken Block’s Audi S1 Hoonitron
“The S1 Hoonitron combines a lot of what Audi was already famous for in the nineteen-eighties,” says Ken Block, whose enthusiasm for Audi’s rally cars was sparked at an early age. “For instance, the car’s spectacular aerodynamics have now been translated into a totally modern form. I think it’s cool that the Audi designers have been inspired by their own past and uniquely transferred the car’s technologies and appearance into the present.”
Two electric motors, all-wheel drive, power galore, a carbon fiber chassis, and the full safety standards as prescribed by motorsport’s top governing body, the FIA – these are merely the S1 Hoonitron’s statistics. In November, the driver got to know the car for the first time. “Audi gave me the opportunity to test it for a few days in Germany,” says Ken Block.
This is Ken Block’s Audi S1 Hoonitron
“I’m familiar with a wide variety of cars using internal combustion engines and transmissions, but there were a lot of new things for me to learn here. Spinning into a donut at 150 km/h directly from standstill – just using my right foot – is an all-new experience for me. Our work was focused on getting the car and I used to each other. My thanks go to the whole Audi Sport squad for their outstanding teamwork.”
This is Ken Block’s Audi S1 Hoonitron
The entire development, including the technology, of the S1 Hoonitron was conducted by Audi Sport at the Neckarsulm location – a perfect fit for the project, because that’s also where the Audi RS e-tron GT1 is produced. Audi Design in Ingolstadt was responsible for the styling, which has been anything but a run-of-the-mill job for Marc Lichte and his team. “When we first heard about this project, the whole team was thrilled immediately: we had the opportunity to develop a car that combines an icon of our brand with the future,” says Audi’s chief designer. The challenges were tremendous: “It was about creating a modern, all-electric interpretation of the S1 Pikes Peak. The timeline was extremely tight: while our design process normally takes one to one-and-a-half years, we only had four weeks from the first drawing to the final design. We were constantly in touch with Ken Block and his team and engaged in intensive exchanges.”
Fans will soon be able to see the US star’s success with the project for themselves: under the working title Elektrikhana, Ken Block and his team are going to produce the next video of his famous Gymkhana series featuring the S1 Hoonitron. “The collaboration with Audi is a very special partnership for me. The brand and its passion for motorsport motivated me to get into rallying,” says Ken Block. “That Audi has now developed this car for me and my team, and has joined us in our next project, has made a dream come true for me. The Hoonitron is writing the next chapter in our history and taking our Gymkhana story into the future.”

A story of the future that everyone at Audi is also looking forward to: “Knowing that we’re developing a car for a video with Ken Block that millions of people around the world are going to watch has provided our team with additional motivation,” says Marc Lichte. “These new inspirations are also immensely important for our daily work. The development of this car will encourage us to approach future projects with an even more open and progressive mindset.”
