Block Lamp
By Design StockholmA classic from the time it was designed, this lamp plays with ideas of contrast: What looks like a cool block of ice heats up when the light is switched on. The Block Lamp has won numerous awards and is part of MoMA’s permanent collection.
THE STORY
Since its founding in 1992, Design House Stockholm has distinguished itself as a publisher of design rather than a conventional producer, working in the same way with designers that publishing houses work with authors. Rather than selecting a designer to make a specific product, all designers are invited to bring their personal ideas, some of which are selected for development and production. The result is a collection of products that embody the very best of Scandinavian design—the term “Scandinavian” referring to a philosophic and aesthetic perspective rather than geography and nationality. Design House Stockholm prides itself on creating design classics that have timeless appeal and qualities that will outlive temporary trends.
