HALF&HALF wall
Design by
ALAIN GILLES 2022
The Half & Half suspension lamp explores the different ways we may perceive an object by day and by night, especially a luminous object. The goal of the exploration is to bring the object to life and play with the light even when the lamp is not lit.
Just as day and night are two separate entities, so is this suspension lamp. The base takes a fairly traditional approach, diffusing a soft light through its half-bulb in opaline glass. This is the part that comes to life when there is more need for light. In contrast, the upper ceramic part, with its characteristic cross shape, expresses the full force of its personality when brushed by daylight.
The wall version of HALF HALF is free, going at 180 degrees on the wall.
