kai linke: 48g and more lamps made from mirrored bronze + silver foil(above) ’69G’

’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.
