gigi is a collection of table and floor lamps that feels like summer

gigi is a lamp collection that resulted from the collaboration between the montrealer studio verre d’onge and studio d’armes, two times archiproducts award winners for their lighting design. this joint project is the alliance of two domains; the mastery of glass and of light. its existence emerges from a creative process focused on an exploration of its physical nature, and the sensory experience of its presence in space.

the two lamps by studio d’armes in collaboration with verre d’onge, with their different dimensions, carry distinct personalities. gigi grand has a strong presence with its elegant geometry and its refined details, while the smaller version is playful and expresses joy and softness. in its desire to explore and rethink the classical glass lamp, studio d’armes and verre d’onge pushed the limits of the glass to create gigi grand, which possesses monumental dimensions for this art. it stands in the space like a beacon of glass and light.

gigi is fresh and bold

the gigi lamps allow themselves to be discovered and revealed in alternating opacity and transparency. under the breath of the glassblower, their shades and tones spread throughout the material, each time in a unique way. thereby, each lamp is an exclusive object and can change the mood of the space it’s in. their high-quality lighting emanates from bidirectional light engines and can be dimmed to a warmer shade. the gigi collection is being showcased at archiproducts milano, in their new exhibition project named ‘future habit (at)’, as part of milano design week 2021.
