Waxed paper lighting
Ni-Ni pendant lights are made from Italian Pergamenata. A waxed paper that has a cloudy texture like the ancient natural parchments. When the light is turned on, the white material glows with a warm ivory tone and shows the designs minimalistic geometry in a play of shadow and light.
Each lampshade is assembled by hand in Barbara Etter's East London studio. "With a love for a quiet, minimalistic design aesthetic we strive to create lighting objects that comfort us with their calm simplicity and elegance."
Focusing on a small environmental footprint, Barbara uses sustainable materials, works with local suppliers and uses as little transport as possible. All the packaging is fully recyclable.
With its minimalistic lighting design and compact size, this UK made lampshade looks fantastic above a small table or a sideboard. It can also be hung very low and serve as a bedside lampshade. The material is semitransparent and shows the shade's simple geometry in a play of light and shadow.
About the Nordic Style Lighting Range
The design journey starts in play - working directly with the material and with little planning. It is a conversation with the material’s properties: with fragility and stiffness, softness and tension, with texture and translucency. The final character is born of this exchange and informed by charm and function, intuitiveness, familiarity and the environment.
Ni-Ni lampshades are an investigation into how one single cut can transform a flat material. The result manifests itself in a geometric play with shadow and light.
Statement from the Designer Barbara Etter
"I have been working in product design for over a decade before starting Clar. The part I always enjoyed the most in the design process, was the direct, hands on experiment in the materials. The stage where new discovery and the unexpected are most likely to happen. Where a mix of free flow and precise observation opens new horizons".
