In the projects we feature throughout this edition, we hope to expand the definition of culture as it’s normally viewed in the realm of institutional architecture — and to hone in on works that stretch design’s possibilities in housing these new expressions.

Caramel by Marset

Caramel wall lights by Marset

As much a sculpture as a wall light, Caramel by regular Marset collaborator Joan Gaspar emits a soft, warm illumination through its hand-blown translucent glass shade when on — and, when off, expresses a graphic interplay on the wall. Multiple circular glass shades (in white, green, cobalt blue or terracotta) can be linked together to form unique compositions. Available 2025.

Dormus by Studio Luddite

Dormus by Studio Luddite

Part of a 12-piece collection that fuses materiality, craftsmanship and innovation, the Dormus sconce by New York City– based Studio Luddite is composed of a single nebulous shape in two orientations: A concave brass backplate (in three finishes) is filled by a convex frosted-glass shade, playing with the idea of negative space between the two.

Dune by Baulmann Leuchten

Dune wall light by Baulmann Leuchten

When conceiving the Dune lighting series for Baulmann Leuchten, German designer Werner Aisslinger took inspiration from the organic, bulbous forms of architect Antti Lovag’s Palais Bulles. Made from 3D-printed quartz sand, its spherical elements are seamlessly joined to form the sculptural wall light (as well as floor, table and suspension lamps).

Heirloom Lamp by Origin Made

Heirloom Lamp by Origin Made

Designer and co-founder of craft-driven Porto-based Origin Made, Gabriel Tan worked closely with a generations-old family-owned lighting studio in Portugal to develop a versatile yet refreshingly simple fixture. Heirloom comprises a tapered metal base and opalescent glass globe; the polished brass portion (in three finishes) is left uncoated to naturally patinate over time.
