Cake Lamp & Luminosa Screen Receive Prestigious Prize Designs
Hall of Fame architect and interior designer Lauren Rottet, FAIA, FIIDA, and her Rottet Collection have won Prize Designs in the Modern Furniture + Lighting Awards for her Cake Lamp and Luminosa Screen — both developed and handmade in Italy.
Organized by Global Design News in tandem with The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design, the awards program was launched in 1949 by The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). The “Prize Designs for Modern Furniture” were conceived to encourage the best of contemporary design while highlighting exemplary examples in the furniture industry, thereby stimulating manufacturing. More than 70 years later, this award is experiencing a global re-launch.
“I’m very pleased with this honor and my appreciation goes to the judges for this accolade, Rottet said. The Luminosa Screen – a new typology of light – combines her ongoing fascination with kinetic art along with her appreciation for the Light and Space movement.
Working in tandem with Rubelli, Rottet utilized one of the brand’s sumptuous fabrics and embedded it with woven strands of LED fabric, transforming it into a functioning screen supported by a metal frame.
Rottet’s Cake Lamp, a whimsical handmade light inspired by an elevated cake stand, features hand-etched Italian crystal and a single bulb.
The Rottet Collection can be viewed by appointment only at the New York showroom, 29 West 30th St., 6th floor, New York City. Call (866) 400-4777 for more information.
