Meter Lamps for Pholc
Designed in collaboration with Anne Dorthe Vester
Meter is a welcoming, soft collection with a strong presence – architectural references and hand-crafted details carefully united. The lamp’s design is dynamic and thought-provoking, an object that leaves no one untouched. A natural geometric rhythm connects the wires behind the translucent lampshade with the fluted column-shaped base. At the same time, the contrast between the smooth cocoon fabric and the raw aluminium creates a distinct tension. A beautifully unlikely marriage. When switched on, the lamp spreads a warm atmospheric light to its surroundings, adding character and softness to any space. Meter is a design lamp that enhances the everyday scenography.
The Danish design duo Maria Bruun and Anne Dorthe Vester are the designers of Meter. Their practice includes objects in the cross-section between architecture, design, and fine art. They often focus on abstractions, such as idioms and functional hybrids, and on the aesthetics of materials and form in relation to surrounding spaces – all created with an intense focus on the crafted detail. Meter comes in two sizes: One Meter and Half Meter. The column-shaped base is made from unpainted aluminium, and the lampshade comprises a wire structure covered by hand-crafted cocoon material. The light source is levelled with the base, creating a soft and warm light effect.
