Skygarden S2

If someone ended an email to you with the salutation "bumblebees and sunshine," you might assume that person wasn't quite grown up. But Marcel Wanders is fully grown, and he's not childish so much as he is childlike in his sense of wonder and appreciation for the world in which we live. This is the guy, after all, who wears floral trousers in a sea of dark designer garb. Who designed his lumpy Egg Vase (1997) by stuffing latex condoms with hard-boiled eggs. And who, when asked, "What is important to you in seating design?" responds with, "My butt; to understand a good butt." His Skygarden Lamp (2007) was inspired by the antique decorated plaster molding in his home, and the name is literally what he has designed – a small garden that you see when you look up into the lamp. With its diffuser made of cast plaster, the Skygarden is truly an original in the world of modern lighting design. This Lamp was honored with a Red Dot Design Award. Bulb: 230W/120V/E27/HSGS/F.
