Lightbulb moment

These new Brick Lamps from Dokter and Misses could have been made for architects. The design duo behind the brand – Adriaan Hugo and Katy Taplin – have taken unfired bricks, and sculpted away at this simple, universal building block, etching them with signature Dokter and Misses geometric patterns. They fire it themselves and fit it with half-chrome warm white screw-in

ES globes, which gives the lamps a theatrical quality. They make striking standalone pieces, but, as bricks do, lend themselves to modular repetition and endless combinations. The way they take the two most basic elements of architecture – the solid materiality of the brick and the abstract, intangible quality of light – and combine them in a new piece of design is nothing short of poetic. www.dokterandmisses.com
