Fascinating work of light art - LED designer floor lamp Babadul with dimmer

Is it an animal mask? Or rather a flower calyx as it is typical for a calla, for example? Or is this abstract structure reminiscent of something else entirely? Which associations the LED floor lamp Babadul actually evokes is ultimately up to the eye of the beholder. What is quite obvious about the designer lamp, however, is the detailed craftsmanship in which its shade was created. Japanese paper serves Babadul as the basic material. In numerous production steps, the paper is folded and pulled in Dagmar Mombach's manufactory in such an elaborate and meticulous way until it has reached its final shape. Inside the shade is an LED light source that not only provides a warm glow, but can also be varied in brightness via the integrated cord dimmer.
The paper used is an untreated natural product. The processing is based on a patented Japanese textile dyeing technique. Each lampshade is unique. In order to preserve the appearance and texture of the paper for a long time, it is essential to protect the lamp from the effects of moisture. Strong sunlight and drafts should also be avoided. Although the paper can be carefully pulled apart to shape it, it should not be overstretched in the process so that it does not lose its tension.
Dagmar Mombach designed "The MaMo Nouchies" lighting collection together with Ingo Maurer. All the lamps from this collection have in common the use of Japanese paper and their shades made of this material. Isamu Noguchi, a Japanese-American sculptor and designer born in 1904, was the inspiration not only for the design of the lamps, but also for the naming of the collection. The title "The MaMo Nochies" is in fact composed of the three names Maurer, Mombach and Noguchi. Noguchi was known, among other things, for his light dispensers made of Japanese paper.
