Designed by Bertrand Balas
In August 1970, Bertrand Balas designed the lamp Here Comes the Sun. At first glance, this original design is like all the other lamps that get called an ?Original?. But once lit, the Here Comes the Sun hanging lamp takes on a magical quality. Darkness looses its rawness and metamorphoses into something reassuring.

With direct reference to the anecdote of the apple falling on Isaac Newton?s head, suggesting the existence of gravity, Newton?s metal diffuser rotates and enlightens the natural element in a mix of direct and diffused light.
