German publishing house Taschen launches a limited-edition series of five ‘Brussels Lamps’ by Cuban-American artist Jorge Pardo
A set of five Jorge Pardo ‘Brussels Lamps’ has been reissued by German publishing house Taschen. Cuban-American artist Pardo has been collaborating with Taschen for years, also creating colorful wall panels and lamps for the publisher’s Brussels store.
The lamps feature signature motifs from the artist's oeuvre. Made of layered, laser-cut, hand-painted PETG plastic discs, they offer a more compact interpretation of some of Pardo’s large-scale works. The lamps’ discs are carefully shaped and stacked in ways that allow light to be spread in different directions. The composition is arranged around a simple bulb held by three steel rods.
Able to function as freestanding lamps or as pendant lamps, the designs appear like colourful sculptures when switched off, and come alive when light animates their forms. ‘This latest collaboration [...] began with Pardo’s tried-and-tested creative process: he captures the notion on paper and only then starts to build the first prototype in his studio,' reads a statement from Taschen introducing the project. 'This prototype goes through as many evolutions and reinventions as it takes to produce one [iteration] that seizes his fascination.'
Described as ‘a serendipitous meeting of technology and creativity', the ‘Brussels Lamps’ collection is the latest non-book release by Taschen.
