The designerduo, who has launched the Hope lamp in collaboration with Luceplan,  reinterprets design history by using sophisticated modern

technologies and contemporary materials. A series of thin, flat plastic Fresnel lenses, created using imprinted microprisms on polycarbonate film to achieve a

dioptric effect similar to glass , reduce the elevated luminance of the light source while at the same time multiplying its light an infinite number of times. This recreates a pleasant, glittering

atmosphere sprinkled with thousands of tiny reflections. Its lightness is interpreted

with a few, studied elements: a slender, three-dimensional load-bearing frame in pressed

and bent steel and a variable number of transparent, polycarbonate injection moulded

stems on which the lenses are attached. Hope has been designed for use with any type of light source: halogen, incandescent or energy-saving fluorescent light bulbs.
