berlin-based designer joa herrenknecht has conceived a family of lamps called ‘kogi’. the pieces aesthetic are influenced by a distinct geometric language in combination with the material they are made from, Tyvek®, a flashspun high-density polyethylene fiber. the creations, shown at DMY berlin 2012, either wear the natural appearance of the shade, or are injected with various colors which when lit, reveal the strong textural qualities of the paper-like medium.
