kai linke: 48g and more


'69g' lampshade by kai linke (illuminated and off)


'48g and more' is the 2010 lighting collection by german designer kai linke.
each piece is named after the weight of its lampshade in grams - the lightest lamp weighing 48g.
made of mirror film foil, the bronze and silver lampshades look like lampions.
when you switch on the lamp, it creates a mirror cabinet inside the lampshade and illuminates
in a blaze of glory.

the '48g and more' collection consists of 4 lampshades of different weight:
48g (h37cm, Ø 34cm), 69g (h46cm, Ø 32cm), 72g (h56cm, Ø 30cm), 137g (h55cm, Ø 46cm)
and were presented at the interieur 2010 kortrijk, belgium.
