Bau

Bau is a sculptural hanging lamp that combines composition and geometric shapes in a unique and creative design. Bau is a hanging lamp with attitude. 

Bau lamp is a great example of DIY (Do It Yourself).  The lamp has a complex expression. The round pieces in various sizes and colors create a pattern which appears random at first. Upon studying the Bau lamp more closely, however, it becomes clear that it is not random at all. The Bau lamp is one of a kind.

Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt graduated from The Danish Design School in 1994. Since then she has primarily worked with unique ceramic pieces. In the later years she has started to work more with function and wood as the main material.  

“Geometrical forms have always been the point of departure for my works. I think construction and composition are important for the final result and I am continuously challenging myself by breaking through the existing frames. I want the viewer to have an experience with the object. Then it becomes alive...”
