'Kalotte' by Sebastian Summa for Hugo Bräuer Metallwaren

By means of its relatively simple and artless old buildings one can see that Neukölln, since a few year’s one of the hippest quarters of Berlin, used to be a typical worker’s house area with many workshops and lots of small-scale industry once.

Some of these old workshops survived and with the help of some Berlin based designers one of them was even able to draw attention to a trade which has almost disappeared behind the globalised market. Together with the industrial designer Sebastian Summa, who is trained as a blacksmith and graduated at University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, the 100 year’s old family owned metal spinning workshop Hugo Bräuer Metalware developed this beautiful series of suspension lamps.

“‘Kalotte’ is a flowing form in the tradition of 50ies metalworked lighting. Yet, in the case of this lamp, two shades turned at a 90 angle fuse into a new form, breaking with the familiar image of a vertically hanging lamp. The lateral light and cable orientation additionally emphasize the reorientation in space”, the designer explains.

'Mushroom' stool by Cilicon Faytory

The Singapore based design studio Cilicon Faytory realised these series of in- and outdoor furniture. ‘Coner’ consists of differently shaped stools, benches and tables made from light weight concrete which allows different colours to be applied. Due to a special sealing the furniture is virtually free of maintenance.

'Squeeze' by Cilicon Faytory

‘Coco’ is a less voluminous family of outdoor furniture. It is made from an unique newly invented natural coconut fiber. It is produced using moulding technology.

“The form of Coco is metaphorically a shell structure to take reference from coconut shell. The shell form yields an efficient structure which is both light and strong with minimal material”, the designers explain.

'Tension Table' by Alain Gilles

The Belgian designer Alain Gilles realised this series of coffee tables for the newly opened Galerie Gosserez in Paris. It is made from a decent wire frame and a folded sheet metal top.

“Visually, the aim of the project is to create a sense of  tension and weightlessness, as if the tables were resting on one leg only”, the designer explains.
