Athens, Greece
Inspired by the Britain coupe glass, namely the vessel of choice for champagne-drinking aristocracy and the upper classes, which was invented around the second half of the 17th century, Aristotelis Barakos designed the iconic Antoinette Lighting collection.
With its luxuriant, silky metal finish and the milky light, it pours all around it, the Antoinette table lamp is a tribute to the sparkling, golden-hued reveries of generations of champagne drinkers, with a meaningful nod to royal Versailles decadence.
Using cutting-edge LED technology and high-quality materials, the signature shape of the shallow champagne coupe is transformed into an elegant table lamp featuring smooth, discreet touch controls.
The light of a circular 12V LED module under the lamp’s top lid is diffused by an opaline bowl, producing a soft downward light. A metal touch dimmer switch on the base provides a tactile on/off function with 10-100% adjustment.
Made of metal in brushed bronze, with the option of copper finish, as well as satin finish in a variety of colours.
