Raimond II Suspension Lamp

Description

Raimond’s perfect sphere is punctuated by tiny LED lights that look like the soft glow of a starry night. Inspired by the iconic geodesic dome of Buckminster Fuller, Moooi’s pendant is the result of almost 40 years of research and dedication on the part of its self-taught designer Raimond Puts. With a web of stainless steel strips that form its thin triangular mesh and also transport the electric current, the magical orb spreads warm white illumination in every direction.

Moooi

It rhymes with “boy,” and a child’s wonder and uninhibited creative impulse is at the heart of this Amsterdam design house co-founded in 2001 by Netherlands design star Marcel Wanders. Then as now, Moooi’s aim is to crack conventions of modern design, providing a platform for the most experimental creatives around the world, including Studio Job, Bertjan Pot, Front and Neri&Hu, as well as creative director Wanders himself.

Some of Moooi’s beautifully eccentric pieces like the charred-wood Smoke Chair; the nearly life-size Horse Lamp; and Iconic Eyes, a dazzling hanging light made of BMW headlights, have become design icons. “We are not the kind of company that decides to produce a commercial chair and then contacts the right designer,” says Robin Bevers, who took the reins as CEO in 2015, after co-founder and Dutch design entrepreneur Casper Vissers stepped away. “It’s rather the other way round: they contact us.” From hotels to homes, the flights of fancy in furnishings, wallcoverings, rugs, lighting and décor from Moooi continue to marvel.
