A cake stand-inspired lamp and a decorative fabric screen threaded with LED lights have won a Prize Design for modern furniture and lighting.
The Prize Designs were launched in 1949 and organized by Global Design News and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. They were conceived to encourage the best of contemporary design while highlighting examples in the furniture industry and stimulating manufacturing. Seven decades later, the award has been relaunched.
The Cake Lamp and Luminosa screen are part of the Rottet Collection designed by architect and interior designer Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio in New York. They were developed and handmade in Italy.
Working in tandem with Italian legacy fabric producer Rubelli, Rottet utilized one of the brand’s sumptuous fabrics and embedded it with woven strands of LED fabric, transforming it into a functioning screen supported by a metal frame.
Her Cake Lamp, a whimsical handmade light inspired by an elevated cake stand, features hand-etched Italian crystal with a single vertically positioned bulb. When illuminated, the top radiates from within, emitting a soft, warm glow.
The collection can be viewed by appointment in the brand’s New York showroom at 29 West 30th Street.
