At Maison et Objet 2010 in Paris, Dutch designer Marre Moerel presented her new collection of earthenware ceramics, based on the universal cone shape. Through experimentation and manipulation she developed several objects with very different forms and functions.
From the basic cone shapes Moerel created ‘Diamond Lights’ a new series of pendant and wall lamps, by joining 2 cone shapes at their base and cutting into the newly created rhomboid. Resulting were 3 different models in 3 different sizes.
The Monja series has been created by stacking one cone on top of another and lighting the piece from within. Through the opaqueness of the ceramic, the upper shade seems to be floating above the lower ceramic base, hereby creating a more abstract sculptural composition.
