Italian lighting company Lodes recently teamed with fashion brand Diesel to create D-Burned, a suspension lamp that has the look of devoré denim.
Denim has been a signature Diesel material since 1978. Similar to burnout fabric, devoré denim selectively dissolves certain fibers to create a pattern with a semi-transparent effect. This technique was frequently used by Glenn Martens in Diesel’s runway collections.
The suspension lamp, unveiled during Milan Design Week this spring and featured in Diesel’s pop-up space in San Babila in April, features draped devoré denim, designed to filter light with an interplay of transparency, shadow and raw materials. It’s illuminated by a 360° light tube with soft diffused lighting and available in two standard sizes — 60 cm and 120 cm.
“This design celebrates the materiality of denim and Diesel’s expertise, blending both decorative and functional elements,” the companies said in a release.
