The Heracleum III Small LED Suspension Lamp was created by Bertjan Pot for the manufacturer Moooi, a Dutch company committed to bringing the fun back into interior décor with bold and daring designs.
Known for his boundless curiosity and his love of pushing the boundaries and exploring cutting-edge techniques, Bertjan Pot has staged many solo exhibitions and worked with some of the Netherlands' most established brands. His pieces are on view in the V&A London, MoMA New York and many other museum collections. He is the winner of IF Gold, Interior Innovation, Elle Deco and Dutch Design Awards.
Measuring 53cm in height and 72cm in diameter, the Heracleum Small Lustre / Suspension Lamp from Moooi is strikingly organic in appearance, despite being made with seemingly cold, industrial materials. Resembling a winter tree just coming into bud, it consists of a series of angular branches made from metal wire, which in turn fork into a total of 45 twigs tipped with "leaves" of opaque polycarbonate housing an energy-efficient LED light. The position of the leaves can be adjusted, and the entire piece is suspended from ultra-thin, near invisible wire, adding to its ethereal, magical effect.
