The sconce is the first lamp that is designer made in stone. It consists of a marble collar subtly emerging from the wall and a topping semi-sphere made from brass from under which the light comes out. The idea was born during a trip through Switzerland, and the first sketches were made near a town named Pfaffikon. The lamp is also available in a version made entirely from casted brass.

The 0_11 floor lamp evokes the balance of two forms: globe and glass tubes. 0_11 lamp is made out of raw brass and frozen glass. Light passes through a delicate glass vertical form. A brass globe is a solid base for this object.

The idea was the creation of minimalistic and elegant objects that would look good in every interior. The designer searched for the simplest graphical shapes and decided to go with a line and dot. This led to four lampshades that illuminated the ambiance in four directions. Between the simple shining sheets, one can discover the lavish interior of the lamp that contrasts with its overall minimalistic look. The light is made from solid brass and glass. LED installation is placed inside the lamp. All parts are handmade and assembled with the utmost care.

The lamp is an effect of the designer's search for new, unique design paths, which resulted in an object qualified as conceptual design. The designer aimed to create a thing that would surprise with its scale, an unusual combo of materials, and extraordinary usage. Even though it sheds light, the design doesn't resemble anything defined as a 'lamp.' It enables the user to perceive structure and interior planning from a new perspective. The designer experimented with the object's scale, weight and movement and used them unprecedentedly. The result is a marble stone with a cut surface in which a brass ring is placed. When touched, it turns out to be a cylinder that slides out of the stone. The cylinder has walls made from glass that cast warm light. When connected again, the light turns off, and the cylinder slides back in. The usage of the object is out of the ordinary. The size and weight of the lamp may seem ungrounded. Being around it is an entirely new, almost surrealistic experience.
