The Looshaus wall lamp draws its inspiration from the iconic Looshaus building by Architect Adolf Loos in Vienna, a monument that signaled a turning point in architectural history by rejecting historicism and embracing Modernism. Loos’ radical beliefs, famously documented in his essay “Ornament and Crime” (1908), influenced the lamp’s design. He argued that cultural evolution necessitated the removal of ornaments, suggesting that decorative elements lead to obsolescence.
The Looshaus Wall Lamp embodies this philosophy, showcasing the purity of materials and minimalist design. Crafted from massive blocks of Carrara marble, the lamp's brass columns allow the transparency of light to shine through its illuminated gallery. With no need for excessive ornamentation, its functional beauty stands on its own.
