Helice Lamp

View text

Particularly obsessed with symmetry at the time, Marc created a floor lamp with an element that pierced through the base and the top shade without seeming to touch the sides of the hole; on the top the ring of light shines down through it, whereas the base is left dark.

“I liked the idea of a lamp looking like part of a black hole.”
