A French Delight
The Macaroon series designed by Christian Troels for Lucie Kaas
Like the “macaron” itself, the lamp consists of three perfectly balanced layers, merging the interaction between light and heavy. The shiny colourful ceramics adds depth and personality, whereas the contrasting opal glass adds a matt detail and gives a pleasant dimmable light to the room. The brass ring in the middle of the lamp brings the lamp together, effortlessly harmonizing the different materials into each other. Round like the French delicacy, the Macaroon lamps gives rooms a simple elegance with a touch of humor.
Christian Troels about the design: “I have designed the Macaroon lamp series with the purpose of balancing humor and elegance in one design. I wish to make people smile and awake their curiosity when they see the lamp series.”
Christian Troels holds a master’s degree from the Kolding School of Design in Denmark. In 2013 he established the studio, Christian Troels Product Design, where he developed a wide variety of products – from LEGO to furniture and lamps. In 2014 he won the “Lamp of the Year” award at the Danish Design Awards for his MUTATIO lamp designed for LE KLINT. Christian Troels masters both the conceptual and technical aspects of the design process. His work philosophy is guided by a playful approach when designing products that stand out in a crowd.
The Macaroon series consists of a pendant lamp which comes in the colours light grey and dark grey and a table lamp which comes in the colours nude, light grey and dark grey. The appealing colours harmoniously fit into the contemporary home.
