The Bat lamp was designed by Carsten Jörgensen with the purpose of creating a dynamic sculptural light object for use in domestic as well as public spaces. The interplay between concave and convex elements in the underlying steel framework gives the lamp its distinct, playful character.

The Bud is one of the most outstanding results of the designer’s fascination with elementary geometric forms. While the wireframes of the lamps are composed of simple curved and straight lines, the lamps’ true formal complexity only comes to light once the cocoons material has been applied.

Carsten Joergensen originally designed this lamp for the smith&hsu teahouse in Nanjing Road, Taipei. Its simple, elegant shape was created specifically for intimate spaces such as teahouses. It was important for the designer to provide the best possible color rendering with this lamp.

Carsten Joergensen’s idea was to create a simple but intriguing shape that could be placed either alone in a corner of a room or in clusters of three or more. He took the shape of a drop as the starting point for his design. Ingeniously, the drop is falling downward when seen from one side, whereas it appears to be falling upward from another angle.

The Lantern’s essence can perhaps best be described with a quote by Isaac Newton: “My powers are ordinary. Only my application brings me success”. This lamp does not scream design but when it’s placed in a room, it enriches its whole character. That is the magic of subtle design that uses simple elegance.

The Bombix Mori follows a line of «bulb only» lights. When used carefully, beautiful effects can be achieved. As a room divider or in the window in Scandinavian tradition, so that it shines from afar and guides friends to the house.
