Designed by Simon Schmitz
The starting point of AARO was a gesture. A movement. Simon Schmitz wanted to create an as fluid motion as possible, which immediately lead him to the sphere. A sphere has so many fantastic attributes. With a sphere as a joint they are no limited directions, it has no left or right, no top or bottom. So with the sphere as the defining element of this piece, everything else ?revolved? around it. The geometry, the balance, the friction. It all comes down to the sphere, visually pointing at it. The end result is an object that seems to be moved by the wind.

Hashira Table Lamp, shaped from the basic geometric form in architecture, the slender cylindrical table lamp takes its cues from the translucent fabric of Japanese lanterns and window blinds to softly diffuse the light in multiple directions. It is set on an ash base that underpins the minimalist expression.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican ‘Toba volcanica’ stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement. The contrast between porous textures […]

As admirer of Alexander Calder, in 1951 Schottlander created the Mantis series of lamps. Movement is intrinsic to all of Schottlander’s work: an artist, an engineer and in no small measure a handyman, he devised a clever system of counterweights combined with a series of strong, and flexible metal bars. The shade also is unique […]

Hard on the outside, and soft on the inside. Designed to work on the bathroom space, specific to the time of morning or evening. An elegant light for an object that plays with intimacy. Inspired by the shades of dawn or dusk, to be tender is to be enlightened like a single cloud standing out […]
