"Crépuscule" by Valentin Dubois at the Salon internazionale del Mobile di Milano 2019

April 2019

CRÉPUSCULE
Pendant lamp to hang above the bed, blown glass, water and metal.

Named after the atmospheric phenomenon of Twilight, the pendant lamp CRÉPUSCULE acts as a screen on which light comes alive and reveals itself. As steam condenses, water drops onto the liquid surface below, altering the quality of the light that bathes the space. This subtle and poetic animation accompanies the user as he falls asleep in a state of meditation.

Design Switzerland at Milan Design Week
Swiss Design takes center stage at Teatro Litta, the oldest theater still in operation in Milan: the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia is pleased to show a selection of young innovative studios under the label Design Switzerland. Selected following a call for applications, the exhibited projects have in common ambitious solutions that significantly improve people’s lives in a smart, engaging and sparkling way. Whether through their mode of production, the sustainable use of materials, the response to societal challenges or the questioning of their function, the projects presented on the Design Switzerland scene reflect a society and a market in the making.
