Marset Theia lighting by Mathias Hahn

bp_heights_dbuw21w3 — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 11:38:00 +0000

The Theia lamp was designed by Mathias Hahn, a German designer based in London, in 2016 for Marset, a Spanish lighting company founded in 1940 in Barcelona. It has a swivelling design with two intersecting half-spheres, one positioned horizontally and the other vertically.

Its opaque metal lampshade directs light either towards the user for reading or towards an object or wall for indirect illumination. This design enables light to be projected, reflected, and absorbed in different ways. Marset

Family-run Danish design company Carl Hansen & Søn, established in 1908, have launched a paper cord variant of the 1958 Børge Mogensen Table Bench. The Table Bench was part of Danish designer Børge Mogensen’s ‘building furniture concept’, which advocated building multifunctional durable furniture.

Crafted from solid oak with exposed tenon and mortise joints, the Table Bench is available in both long and short versions. It takes a craftsman six hours to weave 335 meters of paper cord using a double-plane weaving technique to crease the finished Table Bench. Carl Hansen & Søn.
