New technologies open up paths to new forms, giving shape
to what was at one time pure imagination. In April 1997, I in-
troduced our first LED table lamp, Bellissima Brutta, followed
by many “one of a kind” objects, and the first LED task lamp
EL.E.Dee, in 2001, now sold out and a collector’s item.
LED is still on the leading-edge and a technology that has
become an influential part of our lighting toolbox: Zufall Table,
Jetzt, Looksoflat, Radarrr, WoonderLux, Lunatic and Manifold
all use LEDs. What was once a dream of the future is now reality,
and can be found throughout the collection we produce today.
In 2006 OLED arrives on the scene. Again, we were pioneers
decoding a new technology, and created Flying Future, OLED
coffee table, and the first limited production table lamp, Early
Future. Later in 2008 with custom-made OLED modules by
Merck and Osram we designed Double C. Future and Double
T. Future. They were presented in 2010 alongside a new version
of Flying Future. The new version of Flying Future and also
4 x 4 is 34 are made with future-forward transparent OLEDs
by Novaled.
