Aluminum Polyp Lamps

This edition of the Polyp Lamps presents a series of sculptural aluminum table lamps that explore organic growth and structural irregularity through light. Inspired by fruiting forms—apples, pears, lemons—they nod to Noguchi’s glowing Akari lamps and the layered geometry of Louis Poulsen’s Artichoke Pendant, while introducing a distinctly architectural metallic silhouette.

Precision-cut perforations in each aluminum panel cast dynamic patterns of light and shadow, creating a vivid transformation when illuminated. A vibrant anodized finish amplifies their otherworldly presence, adding iridescent depth and accentuating surface details. Designed with a custom parametric system, each lamp is unique in form while sharing a universal socket base for modular flexibility and individualized expression.

Merging botanical references with digital design language, the Polyp Lamps blur boundaries between nature, technology, and sculptural lighting.
