This series of sheet-metal lamps look like Suprematist hanging planters

With the allure and appearance of minimal greenery (for the lack of a better term), Katerina Sokolova’s Suprematic lamps for NOOM brighten the home, quite literally, if I may add! The 3-part lamps come fabricated from powder-coated sheet metal and metallic pipe cross-sections, and can be simply assembled by fitting them together using interlocking cutouts.

The lamps cast a warm, downward light that takes on a diffused greenish glow, thanks to Suprematic’s powder-coated color-palette, both illuminating spaces as well as creating a sense of calm, not too different from the calm associated with having plants around you… because the Suprematic does look like an abstract, suprematist Bauhaus take on a planter with plants!

Furniture for interior-design-loving introverts!

The Capsule Chair/Sofa set, with its soft felt fabric and its perfect geometric design is simply inviting. Pastel colors and soft curves give the capsule its cozy appeal, while the wood + powder-coated metal frames give it a stability without taking away from the softness. All in all, the Capsule looks like a soft-boiled egg on a wooden-leg egg-cozy. Sit in the Capsule and as your behind sinks into the cushion, you notice your peripheral vision getting narrowed. Its cocoon-esque design covers your sides and your top, blocking not just vision but also absorbing audio, leaving you in a tranquil bubble as you sleep, read, or work. A perfect chair/sofa set for someone who doesn’t want to make idle chit-chat and just wants to be!

Imperfection-inspired Lighting

Inspired by the imperfections created in the production process, the Mold pendant lamp’s name describes the very heart of the product! It’s a reference to its construction molding method which retains the complete form with no chipping away at the offcuts. In grey or chocolate-colored concrete, it’s a warm addition to the ceiling area in any space.
