The Avion™ floor and terrace lamp’s soft shape gently emits a diffused light that enhances the natural atmosphere of a space both indoors and outdoors.
The new Avion Table/Floor and Terrace version introduces the original pendant to new spaces. Ideal for lighting up a terrace with soft light in the evenings or as a sculptural addition to a sideboard or shelf. The lamp shade is crafted from Opal PE, while the new base is made of aluminium. The Avion Table/ Floor and Terrace lamp extends the Avion lamp family and is released in 2023 to mark designer Boris Berlin’s 70th birthday.
Iskos-Berlin is the design partnership of Aleksej Iskos and Boris Berlin, which was founded in 2010 and is based in Copenhagen. Together, they work across the fields of industrial, furniture and graphic design. The pair previously worked together at Komplot Design, Berlin was a founding member in 1987, with Iskos joining the practice in 1999. Berlin (b. 1958) is from St. Petersburg, Russia, and is a graduate of the city’s Institute of Applied Arts. While Iskos (b. 1965) is from Kharkov, Ukraine, and has studied architecture, engineering and industrial design in both Ukraine and Denmark. Their approach is to “see design as an art of storytelling” and they pay particular attention to the materiality of objects, often letting this define the language of their designs. Their exploratory nature often results in products that utilise new technologies and materials. For HAY, Iskos-Berlin have created the Soft Edge series of chairs and stools, a design created in the knowledge that there is no ultimate sitting posture, rather that our natural state is one of constant dynamic movement.
