About this product
Architonic ID: 20714460
SKU: 10583
Year of Launch: 2021
The Half & Half suspension lamp explores the different ways we may perceive an object by day and by night, especially a luminous object. The goal of the exploration is to bring the object to life and play with the light even when the lamp is not lit.
Just as day and night are two separate entities, so is this suspension lamp. The base takes a fairly traditional approach, diffusing a soft light through its half-bulb in opaline glass. This is the part that comes to life when there is more need for light. In contrast, the upper ceramic part, with its characteristic cross shape, expresses the full force of its personality when brushed by daylight.

Alain Gilles
Belgium
Alain Gilles (1970–) is a renowned Belgian designer. Design was not his first calling: his university studies initially focused on Political Science, a discipline in which he graduated in Brussels. He then pursued a career in the financial sector for several years before deciding to change his life and move to France, where he earned a second degree at the Institut Supérieur de Design in Valenciennes—this time following his passion for Industrial Design. In 2007, after several years of collaboration with fellow Belgian designer Xavier Lust, he founded his own studio and began a series of successful partnerships with several major international design brands. The most significant and productive of these have been with the Belgian office furniture brand BuzziSpace and the Italian company Bonaldo, both of which quickly made him one of their leading designers. Winning the title of Designer of the Year in 2012 at the Interieur Kortrijk Fair opened the door to many new collaborations, including with brands such as Ligne Roset, Varaschin, Miniforms, XL Boom, Saba Italia, Vincent Sheppard, La Chance, and many others.
