The original Unterlinden cast metal head element is the basis for the table lamp version. This Version has been developed for Herzog & de Meuron’s project of the Library at the Porta Volta Fondazione Feltrinelli in Milan, Italy.
The Unterlinden Table lamp modifies the original suspended head, integrating a switch at the top and a single bent steel rod that connects into a milled solid steel base plate. Like the suspension, the warm downcast light is ideal for working or making at a table, or as a bedside table reading lamp.
The Unterlinden Lamp was originally designed as a floating light source for Herzog & de Meuron’s Musée Unterlinden extension project in Colmar, Alsace, France. It combines the nostalgia of an antique object with machine processing and high-performance technology. The concept was to design the smallest lampshade possible, a trumpet-shaped die-cast lamp head from aluminium or brass that also serves as a diffuser for high-powered LED illumination.
The outside of the lamp has a raw materiality, ridged with traces of the milling process used to create the original wood molding. The underside is concave and highly polished to an almost mirror finish, emitting a soft, glare-free light. The downcast light is ideal for eating and working above tables or for mood lighting. It has proved to be one of our most successful H&dM Objects, used widely across a spectrum of projects from hospitality and housing to galleries and working spaces, as well as education and healthcare environments.
Available in Brass Cast or Aluminum Cast
16 x 30.5 x h 51.5 cm
The lamp body in die-cast aluminium or brass features a different finish each time given by the natural oxidation process of the metal which is halted and fixed by means of a clear finish. A high-efficiency precision lens controls the LED light, generating professional illuminance levels.

About H&dM Objects:
Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron conceive buildings as coherent wholes, from the load-bearing Herzog & de Meuron have designed over 600 Objects: pieces of furniture, light fixtures, textiles, and architectural details, such as coat hooks or door handles. These Objects are tailor-made for specific buildings, places and the people that use them. H&dM Objects manages the pool of existing Objects and creates new ones led by their atelier in Basel, Switzerland and in collaboration with manufacturers, factories, and skilled craftspeople.
