DECOHAUS is the theme of a collection inspired by Art Deco and Bauhaus, the two international design movements that overlapped during the 20’s.

Each piece has been named after this key shape of the octagon. Hence:

A contrast with olden day lanterns that were easy and light to carry, these giant and heavy floor lamps are designed to stand still.  With a one-direction illumination style, these lamps create a unique ambience in a space where they look like flames reflected in the polished marble surfaces, creating a 3 dimensional effect. The larger size lamp can work as a space divider when in multiples.
