Passepartout JH12 Matt White

Just like the name implies, the Passepartout Lamps by Spanish artist / designer Jaime Hayon act almost like a frame that enhances the visual appeal of whatever they are illuminating. For every type of architectural setting, these lamps are sensational ambient devices which can be used to enhance any décor. They come in two different finishes, each one having its own unique form.
How do you add a lamp to illuminate a space – without the lamp being too anonymous or too imposing? It is a question Hayon has often asked himself. “The answer came from the picture frame. The picture is the focus and the frame is there to guide your eyes to it. Of course, with a lamp you have light, without it you have darkness. So the lamp is actually the unsung hero that brings any setting to life.”
Place the Passepartout Lamps on the wall or ceiling, in the living room or corridor and they will never look out of place. Choose from three different shapes and two finishes: bronzed brass or gold. With the Passepartout lamps, you can even cluster the various colours and shapes together to create a unique aesthetic effect.
As for the illumination factor, it is nothing less than fantastic. The Passepartout Lamps use built-in LED technology that ensures an energy-efficient, high quality light emission. What is more, they have been custom designed to provide illumination that is soft and soothing, emitting a light that’s dispersed uniformly throughout the space.
According to &tradition CEO Martin Kornbek Hansen: “With the Passepartout Lamps, we have combined decorative and technical lighting into one solution. The result is a collection that fits perfectly into both private and architectural buildings. Available in a variety of shapes and colours that add a decorative accent - with a touch of personality.”
