Heavy light 499â‚Ź
The Heavy Light is a fresh perspective on concrete - usually considerd an industrial material - challenging perceptions of its use within domestic and commercial environments. Each concrete shade is individually slip-cast and left inverted in the mould to dry for days. During this process, random air pockets and veining develop on the interior of the shade. These markings vary from one shade to the next and create unique and irregular marblelike patterns, which contrast with the shade’s smooth exterior.
The shade is cast in Leipzig (Germany) and the stainless steel components are manufactured in London and Halifax. Wiring assembly and testing is done in Birmingham, UK.

The Vessel is also available as a table version. Design: Samuel Wilkinson, 2010 Dimension: H. 300 mm D. 180 mm

ean-Louis Domecq drew his first draft of a lamp in the late 1940s. He was frustrated over the fact that there was not a light source, which met the demands of working in factory conditions. His final draft of the lamp was finished in April 1950. It corresponded perfectly with the requirements needed, meaning the lamp was simple yet strong, and would fit into any kind of working station. Domecq spent from 1951 to 1952 industrializing this beautiful invention. In 1953 he created a company dedicated to the marketing of his lamp. He named the company Jieldé, after his initials.
Jieldé have expanded into floor lamps and reading lights in addition to the original. The lamps are hand cast from 100% aluminium, and then assembled by hand in Lyon, France and are individually numbered. Today, Jieldé is recognized as an icon of French industrial art. Jieldé is a statement of quality, craftsmanship and provenance. A darling of professional interior designers, Jieldé can regularly be found on the cover of Elle Décor and other prestigious publications.
