french designer ionna vautrin has created ‘forêt illuminée’ for super-ette editions featured in the emerging design editions exhibition at ilivetomorrow with buymedesign in hong kong until the 30th of november, 2011. the 40cm x 25cm x 50cm floor lamp was imagined as two cloud-like, interlaced minimalistic trees. a sewn-tyvek® exterior envelops a diffused beam; the glowing structure upheld by two birch wood cylinders.

“two entwined trees, an imaginary animal, a cloud skimming the ground… forêt illuminée is a fairy-tale lamp, the indolent evocation of undergrowth weighted down beneath white snow for an urban reader lounging beside an imaginary fire.” -super-ette editions
