'tafelstukken' by dutch design duo dahna isaacs and laurens manders retranslates lamps as
contemporary classical centerpieces. by playing with elements of shape, material and light,
the designs stand out as they illuminate themselves and  their contents.


'tafelstukken' is composed of a wooden leg base and neck with porcelaine lampshade and centerpiece bowl

isaacs is interested in transforming everyday objects into characteristic products.
she researches tradition, materials, composition and translates them into colorful
contemporary forms.

contributed their specific expertise to realize this multidisciplinary presentation.
