Era

Timeless design means innovation in the broadest sense. Question everything. Search for new materials and processing methods. But also question the aesthetics. Looking for unique technical solutions instead of the most beautiful RAL color. How can an object be stable and elegant at the same time? Is a heavy foot necessary? How can different materials be best connected? At Dasein, they add a pinch of environmental awareness to that.


Era is a floor lamp that can serve optimally as a reading lamp. Next to a relaxing chair for reading or knitting and next to a desk to draw up the next design.


Natural, renewable and recycled materials always have the upper hand. For Era this is Ayous a fast-growing type of wood) and a granulate of recycled cork and rubber. Ayous has the properties that it has no knots, weighs little and is easy to work with. In addition to its beautiful looks, the granulate also has a good thermal property.


With lighting you usually get an electricity cable that needs to be integrated as elegantly as possible one way or another. It was decided not to hide it, but to use it in the aesthetic aspect. The cable disappears through a hole to the back but returns with a little jump to the front. This way it is nicely guided downwards and the visually long-looking wooden leg gets 'broken' and upgrades it.


The biggest knot to untangle in this design was undoubtedly the foot. The traditional large or heavy foot was out of the question. A light-looking support in metal? The solution was found in the animal kingdom with the birds.

The floorlamp's measurements: Width 25 cm x Depth 27 cm x Height 150 cm.
