käte
100% hand knitted / special edition for dua-shop! A cable with a socket and a screwed-in light bulb – Pierre Kracht focuses on the essential parts in his design and utilizes the cable to knit a lamp shade. To master that stubborn cable, Pierre Kracht reflects traditional craftsmanship: three-dimensionally shaped surfaces, manufactured by impressive large wooden knitting needles, develop an own aesthetic sense and distinctive charm with their bulky grace and exceptional haptics. Each lamp turns into a unique specimen through this manufacturing process – no Käte is like the other. Differing colours are possible by request.
