vertigo lamp


Vertigo. Designed by Constance Guisset.

In this spirit, Parisian designer Constance Guisset offers her Vertigo lamp. Meant to create “a sense of intimacy,” Vertigo is composed more of negative space than of substance. It is a study of the spaces in between, of what’s left out. Thin lines circulate around a bulb in the shape of an upside down sun hat, something a Southern lady might wear to the horse races, a wild, grand swooping affair that’s as big as a table. Vertigo can be reduced to one word—lightness: “The lightness of the lamp (less than 500g for 2 square meters amplitude) makes it mobile to the rhythm of the air: it turns softly, projecting an almost transparent graphic space between the floor and the ceiling.”
