THE INSPIRATION
“The idea was to have a happy and modern pleated lamp that doesn’t feel cheesy. It should fit any kind of interior. Matin is not about nostalgia or design heritage necessarily, it’s just a lamp with a classic shade that makes beautiful, soft light. The structured base gives it a contemporary feel.”
EXPANDING THE COLLECTION
“They are meant to be set on places other than tables or shelves. The wall version of the Matin lamp is simply hooked with a nail on the wall, wherever you need it. Then you can adjust the direction of the light by rotating the shade. The flushmount version is meant to be a nice cover for electric plugs on the ceiling. It can also be used as appliqué for the plugs that have been set inside the walls.”
“Matin is lighting for daily use – it’s very versatile in both usage and style.”
– Inga Sempe
CREATING MATIN
“I wanted to create a simple lamp that would have a lot of identity. My aim was based on the use and the mounting of the lamp. I wanted a simple wire structure meant to hold a shade, whatever material it would be made of, and that one could connect without any tool – so no desperate search for a hidden screwdriver!”
