Attention to detail seems to be a big thing for you.
It is THE thing. It is the reason why most of our
products have certain parts that had to be designed
from scratch. There were no commercial dimmers that
could match the Baluna design, so we had to create one.
How to hide a cable from sight on an adjustable ceiling
lamp? We know now. And it doesn’t just come down to
how things look, it is as important how they sound and
feel. Is it important how a coffee table sounds when you
put a cup on it? For us it is, this is why we spent months
perfecting a sheet of metal that sounds perfect on Dot
tables. What kind of finish do we need to use on an
adjustable lamp so it has a perfect grip when you want
to extend it? As designers we have tons of dilemmas like
this. As manufacturers we are able to answer them all.
In a world of automatisation you decided to go with the
handmade approach.
We do it because it gives an undeniable quality to
the end product. Every single piece of any of our lamps
goes through skilled hands that bend it, colour it, put it
together and check it over and over again. This way
the craftsmanship becomes an essential part of the
product, something you can see and feel. There is
another dimension as well – for example, the fact that
the glass of the Baluna lamps is blown by a master
glassmaker gives not just quality to it but also a story.
And the story is what makes a good product great.
