Holocene No. 4: John Pawson
Design:
John Pawson, 2018
Pawson’s design for Holocene No. 4 takes the notion
of the oil lantern and meticulously reduces it to its
essence in terms of function, form and palette, as a
container for fire, with the means to carry or suspend.
Crucible-like in profile, the lantern is fabricated in
stainless steel and aluminium, with matte exterior
surfaces and a polished internal core, to reflect and
amplify the flame. The piece is designed for indoor
and outdoor use and scaled to feel comfortable in
a range of applications, singly or in groups, on the
dining table or a windowsill, standing on the floor or
hanging from a wall.
