French designer Edouard Larmaraud created the Ariane range of lamps for producers Ligne Roset and Cinna.

The lamps feature a red cable wound around fixings on the metal bases.

The collection includes table, floor and wall lamps.

“Ariane is a range of lamps composed of a plastic lampshade interacting with metallic structures,” says Larmaraud. “A long, red cable winds, undulates and really defines the shape of each product.”

The lamps were awarded with a Red Dot Design Award 2008.

    thanks Marcus, french designers have something to say different from dutch and british design…. and different from Starck anovist design too…

    It’s just so blunt and boring… No innovation, class or style at all…
