After months of hard work we show our first crop of lamps to the public. We feel
very positive about it. An abundance of new ideas – versatile, open-minded, and
all with a sense of humor. We are in good spirits.
With the new collection comes the rebirth of Light Structure. I first designed this
together with Peter Hamburger in 1970. Today new techniques make it possible
to replace the magnificent but banned incandescent tubes we used in 1970 with
smartly placed LEDs.
We continue the productive and amicable relationship with Moritz Waldemeyer.
It is a collaboration we cherish. He is a wizard, a freaky electrical genius with
ideas and unparalleled imagination that creates energy – within all of us.
The results are new variations of My New Flame as refined suspension lights.
Axel Schmid’s Manifold takes advantage of new LED technique. It really is a
lamp’s lamp.
Raffaele Celentano, designer of Campari Light brings a new lamp to the table.
Campari Bar is not only amusing but also heart-warming.
New manufacturing processes allow for new ways to create intricate shapes
without molds and tools. Our first one is called Knot. Its shape has been a long
time on my mind. It is difficult to produce at a reasonable price, so I decided to use
the new technique of three-dimensional printing and create a lamp where each
piece is unique, sculptural and far beyond design.
Fun, disciplined, and yet with laughter in our hearts is the creative force behind
Veramente al Dente, another unique piece that comes from demanding work.
Floating Table, produced by Established & Sons, looks like an archetypal wooden
table with chairs. But as a table with no legs it appears to float on air!
Last but not least, I wish to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who worked
together to make all this come true. Yes, we are a great team.
