“The idea came when I saw the products made by Adrian, I met him in 2019 at the Startarium Crowdfunding Megatlon, where Adrian came to present modular objects, among them some of the lamps that are today part of the Wooba Dark collection,” states Cristina Cerga, co-founder of Wooba Deco.

“The idea started with play. Adrian composed some geometrical forms for his daughter, Lara, and then carried this passion a bit further. He started making regular polyhedrons with a multitude of new shapes, then came the products with lights, because we wanted it to be a beam of light in this dark period because we launched the brand in early 2020.”

“The five objects also got a tagline, to bring people moments of reverie. And we called them ‘lights for the soul.’ These are design bodies 100% made in Romania, composed by Adrian, and marketed by us, and together we brought out a new reverie. This was what we wanted to do with these light objects. We wanted them to bring in some reverie to Romania, and not only.”

Adrian Bursuc and Wooba Deco’s Wooba Bennett Star Lamp is a star-shaped lighting fixture part of a lighting collection called Dark.

The Wooba Bennett Star Lamp has been recently awarded the 2022 Prize Designs for Modern Furniture and Lighting Award from Global Design News and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design.

The Wooba Bennett Star Lamp can be suspended or set on a surface, thanks to its geometrically regular shapes.

The light comes out from within directly, unfettered, and the geometric structures produce pleasant shadows.

With a strong and meaningful name, Bennett Star means ”blessed”, as it came from a world where goodness has the power to light up every “dark” soul.

Its name is associated with the idea of protection and healing. Its purpose is pure: its warm light will guide you to a path of hope and devotion.

The Bennett Star lamp provides the energy you need.

The delicate and dreamy design has the power to balance your world, by bringing into it subtle and tender energy.

“We chose to put in the Dark collection the main star, Bennett Star, which we called, due to its complexity, the star for restless souls,” concludes Cerga.
