AUDO

In his search for simple and clever solutions in any given space, Danish designer Aleksandar Lazic looked to Italian marble tables from the 1970s when creating the Reverse Lamp. Inspired by the play on structure created by geometric constraints, the conical travertine base and curved, bronzed aluminium shade define the lamp’s perfectly balanced expression.

The Hashira Collection is a modern, Nordic take on the traditional Japanese rice paper lantern. Conceived for Audo by Norm Architects, the collection’s wall lamp perfectly balances aesthetics and proportion, simplicity and character. The translucent fabric shade – available in white linen and raw slub linen – acts as a diffuser, projecting the light in multiple directions while creating a cosy, glare-free ambience. 

Rising majestically from the floor, the cylindrical silhouette of the Hashira Floor Lamp iteration is combined with elements of western textile lamp shades to lend the design a familiar feel. The translucent fabric shade not only acts as a diffuser, projecting the light in multiple directions while creating a cosy, glare-free ambience, it also adds palpable appeal that enhances the softness of an interior – acoustically as well as tactilely.

Filling spaces with ambient light, the Hashira High Floor Lamp by Norm Architects is characterised by its tall and tactile shade and slender, graphic frame. The elegant, powder-coated steel base lends an elevated, airy expression to the design, its black metal surface creating a contrast to the pale linen shade, which acts as a diffuser, projecting the light in multiple directions while creating cosy, glare-free ambience. A dimmer switch controls the brightness.

Daniel Schofield’s Ray Table Lamp for Audo has a distinctive silhouette inspired by old mining lamps. Its simplified design in powder-coated metal and glass features a practical top handle that makes it easy to carry the lamp to wherever light is needed – from a living room shelf or dining room table to a bedside cabinet. Emitting a soft, muted glow from its energy-saving LED bulb, the dimmable design is adjustable to three settings.

JWDA pendant is part of a Collection of lamps inspired by traditional oil lamps. The lamp is made from honest materials ennobled by the refinement of its design. Simplified and reduced of clutter to its essence, JWDA is minimalist lamp – but with a strong character. It roundedness expresses warmth and friendliness. The lamp represents a study in the contrasts between the raw character of the concrete, the delicate glass and refined brass. 

Design is an art of storytelling according to the Copenhagen-based duo Iskos-Berlin, and their Dancing Pendant for Audo Copenhagen puts that principle into practice. Exquisite, yet with a playful twist, the expressive statement lamp takes its design cues from a dancer’s pleated skirt caught flaring up mid-twirl — an idea that grows and finds its final form, precise and orderly yet soft and fluid. 

An instant classic, the JWDA Lamp is the kind of sculptural piece that turns heads and brings new life to a room. The contrast of the delicate, rounded glass with the sturdy metal base makes for a balanced and intriguing silhouette.

Imagined by the industrious Swedish furniture designer Alf Svensson in the 1950s, Chandelier 3 is one of three lighting designs in the Collector series. Shaped from a central band of solid brass, six conical metal shades direct the light upwards and downwards to illuminate with ambient light. Small perforations in each shade disperse the light outwards, creating intriguing shadows. 

The Torso Portable Table Lamp by Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen is a miniature version of their popular full-size design of the same name, which takes its design cues from childhood homes filled with treasures shaped by the human hand. Petite and cosy, this diminutive design brings a sense of intimacy to tabletops, replacing the need for candles thanks to its soft, ambient light. It features a brass plated button on the linen canvas shade, enabling you to turn the light on and off at the tap of a finger.
