BMW Desk Lamp "Circle"

The Circle desk lamp was developed exclusively for BMW. With its handle of hand-sewn leather and casing in a cooling fins look, the lamp cites elements of motorcycle design. Analogous to the motorcycle, which embodies the most individual form of
transportation, the lamp stands for individual light.  Design 2000

    • DFB-Light-Tree

      Project

      The DFB Academy's market square serves as its central entrance and main hub. A lighted sculpture was designed to have a far-reaching effect and enhance the atmosphere and identity of this square. The motif behind the concept of the custom-made luminaire was the image of bulrushes swaying in the wind. The lighted tree is made of eight, pre-bent steel tubes coated with flexible, colored GRP sticks, each of which has a luminous object mounted on it. The interplay and inclinations were parametrically modelled by our development team using grasshopper (see image).

    • House Haller

      Project

      A world-ranking educational institution came into being in Hamburg. In eight buildings near the Außenalster internationally renowned scientists will do research on current topics and continue to learn together. Their findings will be shared with the public in an auditorium.
      Haller House was the first of these buildings to be completed and already houses scientists and researchers. We illuminated this heritage building with great restraint yet strong accentuation of its architectural structure. One special feature is the staircase lighting. It consists of an arrangement of simple balls of light that are fitted with special LED boards to deliver long-term, high-quality light. Close cooperation with the aspiring and detail-oriented interior designer, Ms. Klatten, made this degree of quality possible.
