as the name implies, the form of the 'light au lait' lamp involves a cup, saucer and spoon to create a whimsical wall-mounted lamp,
blurring the boundary between art and functional design. the drinking vessel acts as the main shade of the lighting piece,
connected to the saucer by a movable arm, allowing the user the adjust its position horizontally or vertically.
designed by ingo maurer and fabien dumas, the object emphasizes the characteristics of the coffee cup in a new and unexpected way.
this newest production of the lamp is available in traffic black and fawn brown.
