The idea behind the Pleat Box is that of a digitally-designed crease in a piece of cloth, the silhouette of which is applied to a ceramic base. The outer part of the lamp is offered in white ceramic, underglazed red clay and grey –the result of recycling different enamels. The brilliant white enamel interior creates a glitter effect, which enhances the light from the lamp. It can also be supplied in gold on the inside, which generates an extremely warm light. Available in 4 sizes: diameter 47cm, 36cm, 24cm & 13cm. Pleat Box has come about through the first-ever collaboration between Xavier Mañosa, a master ceramicist from Barcelona, and the Mashallah design studio in Berlin with Marset.
Metronome, by Tim Van Steenbergen for Delta Light. Paul Ameloot: “With Tim we have exceeded the essence of collaboration. We wanted to explore new shapes, colours and materials. Within our sector but also by exploring the common ground we share with other trendsetting sectors. The result is a unique design that is different and yet very characteristic of Delta Light® and Tim’s style.” Tim Van Steenbergen: “Thanks to my shows and my theatre work I understand the importance of lighting. Light can make or break something. Delta Light® shares my vision. Their work is about timeless design and top-quality craftsmanship. That’s why we could easily work together and create a lighting object with an added value.” Rather than just use a print or piece of fabric Tim Van Steenbergen decided to play with the light effect. He wanted to go back to the product, the essence, the values, the content. He embarked on a quest for beauty and aesthetic that also characterizes his other creations. The designer started working on the original lighting object. He covered it with fabric and cut it. Known for his artistically draped silhouettes, Tim was looking to bring that level of craftsmanship to the lighting object. He was inspired to create an object that plays with light and shadow. The result is a unique and versatile object. Under a waterfall of aluminium strips, the warm light conjures up a magical play of light and shadow. The design is characterized by a waterfall of flexible strips, either with or without the signature upper piece of the Husk. Except for 3 static elements, each aluminium strip can be tilted, allowing the user to create its own version. As such, there will never be 2 exact same copies, each version will have its own story.
