Le Lampade Dido

Designed by Jean-Marie Massaud and produced exclusively by hand by the master glassmakers of Murano, the Alma, Dido, Fede and Holly lamps (floor and table) stylishly light up the spaces of the contemporary home. Five light sculptures exalted by the purity of blown glass. The Alma lamp, made entirely of glass with striped processing, is composed of two glass bells placed on top of one another to form a luminous hourglass. Dido has a transparent glass base, Fede a lacquered metal base upholstered externally with a necklace of transparent glass bubbles. The Holly lamp has a lacquered metal base with an external transparent glass silhouette, characterised by soft and sleek lines, that forms a stylised female profile. The Holly table lamp has a burnished steel base with stem in brushed stainless steel and external profile in transparent glass. The elements that join the base and the stem and the stem and the bulb socket are in burnished brass. The lampshades of the Dido, Fede and Holly lamps have two layers - canvas on the outside and PVC on the inside. 

About Designer
Jean-Marie Massaud

Born in Toulouse in 1966, Jean-Marie Massaud graduated in 1990 from Les Ateliers, Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle, Paris. He began to work both in Asia and in France, finally opening his own office in Paris in 1994. Since than, he has dedicated himself to industrial and furniture design, building important relationships with brands such as Authentics, Baccarat and Magis.

His collaboration with Marc Berthier and his work in the field of town planning led him towards design and architecture. He is concerned with design in various contexts, industrial products and furniture. His contextual approach centres on research into the essential, within which the individual remains the centre of attention. It is a work upheld by research into the senses, magic, and vital emotion which brings him to work with very different brands: Cassina, Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Cacharel, Lancôme, Tronconi and Yamaha offshore. His works have been awarded several prizes and many of his designs are nowadays on show in the design collections of the major museums worldwide: from Amsterdam, Chicago, London, Paris and Zurich: from the permanent collection of the Musée National d'Art Moderne de Paris to the permanent collections of the Museum für Gestaltung, Zürich, of The Chicago Athenaeum- Museum of Architecture and Design, of The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and of The Musée des arts Décoratifs, Paris.
