Catalog excerpts

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.

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.
