the ‘hooo!!!’ lamps are a collaboration between five parties, with the design by french designer philippe starck, the text by american artist jenny holzer, the custom electronics by german-british interactive designer moritz waldemeyer, the crystal by french glass manufacturer baccarat and the production by italian lighting company flos. ‘hooo!!!’ is produced in a limited edition only.

a white LED display runs along the center line of the crystal element. the interplay between the geometric LED matrix and hand-made baccarat crystal turns holzer’s text into an attention-grabbing animation.
