Story
A lamp that fits every interior
The Prop Light takes its name from the Dutch word for attribute: a prop is an object used in films and theatre plays, and the verb proppen means to stuff something. Bertjan Pot's idea was a lamp that would fit every kind of interior and could even replace tubular lighting.
Many bulbs on a small surface
Fitting a high number of light bulbs onto a very small surface proved a huge design challenge, solved after a long technical search together with Moooi. The Prop Light is a Moooi Original.
