AUSTERE FLOOR LAMP
An architectural masterpiece AUSTERE is designed by legendary Belgian architect Hans Verstuyft, known for his warm minimal style. Award winner of the Henry van de Velde award in 2015. ‘Austere’ can mean sleek, linear and/or stripped of excess. And also slender and tranquil just like an ethereal silhouette. It can’t get purer than this. The construction of this light fitting is subtle and practical, without almost any visible hardware.
The AUSTERE is gracious, clearly practical. Its beam of light is like a Chinese lantern, a small and simple lamp that feels natural in any location, be it a reading area, office or bedroom. A classic that is well suited for both modern and traditional interiors.
The Austere collection is available in a range of floor, wall, table and ceiling styles, allowing you to connect spaces with the same lighting. Made of solid brass coated in a range of finish options. Available in non-lacquered brass for those willing to have a natural oxidized look that will age with time.
CHO FLOOR LAMP
CHO lamps are the result of a study on shapes that appear when adding pressure to an oval piece of paper. A sheet with two curved pressings, gently wedged into a slim metal frame. As a wing catch carrying itself resiliently between two pylons. Here it unfolds into a poetic shade that spurs on creative interpretation of the beholder and changes at the point of view.
Cho means butterfly in Japanese which is how the shape speaks to the designers. The lightness of the shade meeting the solidity of the steel base, white meeting black.
The lamp comes in two sizes. The large version with the long legs is ideal as a floor lamp, slightly offset from the wall, while the little one is intended as a table lamp for the windowsill, dresser or desk. With its semi-matte translucent shade, CHO provides a diffused and calm light, and its sculptural silhouette appears elegant and glorious in the room.
The Liris portable table lamp is a modern masterpiece of a lamp. It gives you images of the old Rome, big leafs or fans and is truly a design statement piece for your house.
Design duo Thalea Schmalenberg and Kasper Fris Egelund found inspiration in the elegance of the traditional paper fan. Their fascination with its simple and poetic expression, as well as its materials and interactive properties, sparked the creation of their design concept: Liris.
By enhancing light quality through the integration of a small elevated LED light source, they transformed the folded fan into both a lampshade and a reflector. When positioned against a wall, the lamp emits a soft, evenly dispersed ambient glow. The shade removes and can be replaced when needed. Available in Black and Brass.
The ‘2Thirty-Floor’ by Trizo21 is a design with a nod to the 1970s, with the technology of the future. A unique feature of the ‘2Thirty-Floor’: each light source has its autonomous dimming system. With it's unique studio look you can raise and lower the head to the height you prefer and flex the angle of the light, making it the perfect adjustable floor light for modern spaces. Available Finish Options: Black, Bronze, Gold, Aluminum

BOW FLOOR LAMP
Drawing inspiration from the elegant shape of a bow, the Bow lamps artfully transform LED lights into striking sculptural pieces. Shaped like the string of a classic bow, the luminous acrylic tube lends a gentle and artistic touch to the lamp. Offered in two distinct wall lamp sizes, the bow lampshade attaches to a sleek rectangular metal wall cup. This design imparts a touch of architectural sophistication and creates a visual depth between the bow and the wall. The Bow series also introduces a floor lamp version. Here, the bow lampshade is anchored to a sculptural metal ball, resulting in a captivating contrast between the ethereal bow and its solid counterpart.
Every Bow Lamp features a built-in LED light source, boasting an impressive 25,000 hours of radiant illumination at a warm Kelvin 2400. Shifting away from the starkness typically associated with neon, these innovative lamps exude a warmer, more inviting glow, setting the ambiance for a cozy and comforting atmosphere. All metal components are elegantly plated in bronze.
MOON FLOOR LAMP
The Moon is a minimalistic floor lamp constructed from geometric shapes, where each component is perfectly balanced to one another. The lamp has two light sources placed as compositional fix points along an oxidized brass arm. A large circular lampshade hangs from the arm as a floating reflector in the space. The brushed brass lampshade is illuminated on both sides, creating a warm and soft lighting. The Moon lamp is mounted to a cylindrical base of unpolished grey marble, stabilizing the structure.

STINGRAY FLOOR LAMP
Inspired by the Stingray fish, the Stingray lampshade is all about the contrast between soft shapes and sharp lines. The almost floating lampshade is the centrepiece of the Stingray collection, elegantly featured in two chandeliers, a table lamp and floor lamp. The lampshade is designed to hide and expose the light source according to the viewpoint, creating a flexible and artistic light experience.
The Stingray table and floor lamp is characterized by three legs, adding a certain rhythm and simplicity. The lampshade is mounted to an adjustable lamp arm, elegantly balancing the Stingray lampshade opposite a sphere shape.

TOTEM FLOOR LAMP
Standing tall as an ancient symbol, The Totem Floor Lamp is a sculptural lighting design, embodying the core elements of 101 Copenhagen lighting design. Hidden between two circular metal screens with slightly curved endings, the light source is intensified and expressed in an indirect lighting experience, which changes according to the viewpoint and movement around the lamp. The almost floating lampshades are lifted up by a metal pole, mounted to a half circular metal base.

With its layered shades the Dusk and Dawn lamp series playfully divides the light into a rhythm of exposure. The almost eclipse-like feeling contributes to an intimate and cozy atmosphere creating an art piece in itself. By challenging the material and form of the base the Dusk and Dawn lamps has become a new way of presenting and integrate light design in interior schemes.
The raw handmade oxidized aluminum base creates stability and continuity to the lamp while the two spun oxidized aluminum shades create a geometrical and clean look that gives depth to the smooth light.

The Bull lamp is a sculptural lamp, inspired by Danish Modernism from 1940s to 1960s. The lamp is named after its bull like inspired lampshades of opal glass, which gives a smooth light scattering and a characteristic expression.
Bull consists of an unpolished black marble base, complimented by a lamp arm in oxidized aluminum and covered by spun cognac leather. The upper parts of the lamp are also made from oxidized aluminum, creating a beautiful contrast between the textured metal surface and the smooth translucent opal glass.
The interaction between the many exquisite materials creates a refined expression, which makes the Bull lamps more than just a light source. Available as a floor and table version.

AD FLOOR LAMP
Last but not least, one of our personal favourites, the AD Floor Lamp is inspired by the iconic Art Deco patterns, where trapezoidal shapes expand into symmetric patterns. AD consists of two conical lampshades made from spun aluminum. The lampshades are based on the same conical shape, which gently encloses the light source and gives a smooth light scattering. The sculptural construction is based on a plate geometry, which creates optical illusions between the light and massive.
