Design — Bleijh
The quirky long legs of the praying mantis inspired the Dutch design
agency Basten Leijh for the creation of Médard. Highly flexible, thanks
to its orientable head, Médard can sit still as an iconic table lamp, or
observe from above or from the wall, in a multitude of elegant applications.
Because of its style and popularity, the Médard family grew quickly to add
several playful versions. Go all out with even more of Médard, for interior
spaces that need diverse applications with a uniform sophistication.
Table, ceiling, wall or track?
First, it was one sleek design. Modularity and fun ensued. From a table lamp
with distinctive long legs and a flexible, orientable head, to more subtle
surface-mounted and recessed ceiling applications. Add lovely wall versions
and a playful track variant in between, and you’ve got yourself full blown
modularity, all from one simple design.
Matching sizes, matching rings
Médard 42 is the minimalistic member of the family, gracing walls or ceilings as a
standalone, or sliding playfully as a smaller spot for our Pista magnetic track (48V).
Médard 70 is a solid eye-catcher as a track spot (230V). And of equal diameter,
Médard ceiling beautifies spaces as surface-mounted and recessed luminaire.
More lights, more spaces
Médard opens itself up to welcome more light. Médard Stretched comes in two
adjustable tube lengths: 300mm and 500mm and can support two light units.
What’s the opposite of stretched? Médard’s distinctive and charming rounded
edge is all you see with Médard recessed (ø42 and ø70). The matte black inner
ring, same in all variants, combats glare and promotes a homogenous look.
