After gaining international clout with her lamp designs and role as artistic director of Brokis, Lucie Koldova has landed the prestigious 2018 Das Haus installation.
“What’s most important is to live with the people that you love, but comfort and atmosphere come next,” says Lucie Koldova. Fittingly, the 34-year-old Czech designer sums up her experimental home for the 2018 edition of the annual Das Haus installation series in one word: “ambience.”
Challenged by the organizers of the international home-furnishings show imm Cologne to create “a poetic study of light,” Koldova designed her dream house as a wonderland of illumination in various forms, from light to dark to refreshing and relaxing, where the subtle power of ambience will be explored on multiple levels—thus the title Light Levels. “Each room will play with both the temperature of light and its composition,” Koldova explains.
To help achieve what she calls this “diversity of moods,” the designer will unveil three new lighting prototypes as well as draw on existing products: Macaron, a hand blown glass lamp inspired by the sweet almond-cookie-and-ganache French pastry—and offered in the same soft colors— from Czech manufacturer Brokis; Puro, a geometric pendant exploring horizontal and vertical lines, also from Brokis; and Lens F46, a large-scale pendant from Italian manufacturer Fabbian that uses slender perforated metal lenses to play with indirect light.
