Xavier Lust - Gamete lamp (2010)
Inspired by tree seeds blown in the wind, the Gamete.MGX table lamp contains an elegant envelope which protects our eyes from the light.
Designer Xavier Lust studied interior design in Brussels where he opened his own studio in 1992, working in various fields from urban furniture and interior architecture to industrial commissions and limited edition pieces. His design is clearly identifiable through the visible tension he gives to his objects, and the curves inspired by his innovative (de)formation process of metallic surfaces.(Dezeen)
