Paying homage to the iconic office desk lamp
An oversized version of a world-famous piece of home/office design allows the humble desk lamp the opportunity to conquer new spaces and illuminate the public realm with its powerful coloured light. Lampounette was first exhibited at Lumiere 2021 and is now a permanent art installation, humorously transforming a dark area of Durham’s riverbank into a warm domestic space.
