oiseau lamp by olivier chabaud + jean-francois bellemere for compagnie

architects and designers olivier chabaud and jean-françois bellemère have designed the ‘oiseau’ light for compagnie, a whimsical luminaire which features a small bird perched along its base. white and black smooth exteriors surround the egg-shaped hanging unit, while a gold or white interior has a textured quality. the interior is made up of painted branches and seeds that form an organic skin within the lamp; a large, arc-shaped cut-out exposes the illumination. between the inside and the outside, a oak ring circumferences the lamp’s base on which the silhouette of a bird rests atop.
