Light and lighting

By 17-03-2015

Dutch designer Jacob de Baan is passionate about light and lighting. He developed a range of lighting solutions for day, evening and night: VLAMP GOLD, SAFIR, DENIZ, OLAMP and ULAMP.

Jacob: “Natural lighting circumstances are dynamic and depend on the sun’s changing altitude and colour. My approach is to translate this natural experience into corresponding design solutions. Some of the designs offer a cool light that comes from above and therefore intended for daytime use. Other lamps deliver reddish and lower positioned light for late night use.”

“In my designs I pay particular attention to ecology and sustainability. No glue or screws are used, allowing easy recycling. The fixtures are efficiently packed in flat boxes for light and efficient transportation.”
