JULIA
1 / 26Pages

Julia is a lighting series that includes table-, wall- and standing lamps as well as a chandelier and several pendant lamps. Each one consists of two shades: the outer which is handmade of brass, while the fragile inner one is made of translucent glass. The latter also serves as the light diffusor and a shell in which an LED bulb can be hidden. Both shades are connected to a classic table lamp in a way which signifies the present archetypal gesture. At the same time, the product itself creates a testimony of contemporary living.

Julia is the third design after Sparks and Elaine which Daniel Becker (born 1983) created for Quasar Holland. He studied industrial design at Braunschweig University of Art and is based in Berlin since 2010. After graduating he opened his own studio and was invited to show his work in several young design talent selections on major trade fairs. In 2014, he has been nominated for the Newcomer Award by the German Design Council. In 2015 he was awarded with the Good Design Award by the Chicago Athenaeum, the world's oldest design award. His work is regularly exhibited and published...

Quasar manufactures all lighting fixtures by hand in their headquarters in Giessen, The Netherlands. All models can be customised in size, colour and finish - a unique advantage against many competitors. The brand made its first appearance on an international fair on the 1992 Euroluce Milan and continued to grow since then to one of Europe's most unique and creative lighting manufacturers with an export rate of 75% of its production.

The development of Julia started with the briefing to design a table lamp for the hospitality sector. We looked into many historical examples and decided to combine two archetypical shapes from that sector - the plissee shade and a spherical glass shade. Our decision was to reinterpret the plisee shade in metal. The material is the most representative for Quasar as a brand and offers many options for customisation, something crucial in the hospitality sector.
