MEET THE DESIGNERS
Designed by Danish husband-and-wife designers Viola Heyn-Johnsen and Jonas Trampedach, the Parade Table Lamp series was inspired by the desire to create an ambient light source with a sculptural quality. Discover their design process and what inspired them to develop this collection.
BEHIND THE DESIGN

WHAT WAS THE DESIGN PROCESS?
“The catalyst for the project was a collection of stained-glass objects from the interwar period that we’vehad at home for years. We strove to create a lamp that could offer the same lasting experience. Like the stained-glass pieces, Parade also fits beautifully on a shelf, and we think it can be used in nice vignettes or still-life scenes with other items you already own.”

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE PARADE’S AESTHETIC?
“Parade consists of a top arc and a bottom square that makes tessellation possible. When several lamps stand together and you look at them from above, they fit into each other in a pattern of squares. The lamp's three different heights allow you to create a pattern of arches and points when you look at them from the side. This helps to make Parade interesting to arrange.”
