Story
A basket that is the light
Marcel Wanders draws on the tradition of handcrafted weaving to replace the typical lampshade with something unexpected and expressive. The lamp feels both familiar and futuristic, made from textile-covered LED strips woven into a glowing network, with the basket itself as the source of light.
A nest of light
Its name calls up a nest of light floating in the air, a poetic image for a lamp where industry, technology and craft meet. Made without glue and from recycled materials, it reflects a commitment to longevity and circular design.
