LUIZ

Produced by Mater
, 2014

The Luiz lamp is a contemporary interpretation of the ordinary pendant lamp, which combines the natural qualities of cork with traditional craftsmanship. The lamp shade is made in Portugal from locally harvested cork, from the cork oak. These trees have an average lifespan of more then 200 years, and can be harvested every 9 years without damaging the tree. Luiz is made of cork from responsible managed cork oak forests, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This means not only the cork production is protected but also the local biodiversity. The metal top of Luiz is made in Denmark by one of the few remaining workshops that master the spinning technique to perfection. Luiz is available in dark and light natural cork with black textile cord and E27 socket. Energy saving 53W eco halogen bulb recommended.

STUDIO

Design means everyday culture. It helps us to enjoy and simplify life. We are fascinated by the process that starts with an idea, becomes substance and hopefully results in a long and pleasurable use for its qualities. That’s how we understand reasonability and sustainability.

Böttcher & Kayser is a Berlin-based studio working in the fields of consumer product, furniture, lighting and interior design. It was founded in 2007 and is running today by Moritz Böttcher and Nikolaus Kayser. The studio is working with international brands such as Anta, Bolia, Böwer, Conmoto, Freistil by Rolf Benz, Gejst, Johanson, Ligne Roset, Mater, Normann Copenhagen, Northern, Prostoria, Rig-Tig, Schönbuch, Softline, Stelton, Vertigo Bird, Wendelbo and Zero. 

While still in their studies they won the iF design award and red dot product design awards. Since founding the studio they were honoured with some of the most prestigious awards, such as several red dot and iF design awards, the Interior Innovation Award and the red dot „best of the best“. Their projects have been published in books and magazines around the world.

Moritz Böttcher (1978) graduated as an industrial designer at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Hannover in cooperation with Dornbracht. He worked at npk industrial design in Hamburg and the Netherlands, Barskidesign in Frankfurt and from 2006 to 2008 for Werner Aisslinger in Berlin.

Nikolaus Kayser (1978) is a qualified carpenter and studied industrial design at Muthesius Kunsthochschule in Kiel. After his diploma he worked for three years as a designer at wiege Entwicklungsgesellschaft. His focus there was in the field of high-quality office furniture, especially on chairs for the German manufacture Wilkhahn.
