When I had the pleasure of visiting the homes designed by architect Luis Barragan, I saw several versions of table lamps designed by him. Although, these lamps are made of earthy, traditional materials (animal skin and wood), they have an unmistakably modern look. They, therefore, bear primary shapes, such as a square or a cylinder. All of Barragan's mature work has that enchanting combination of modern rationality and artisanal emotionality. I wanted to honour Barragan, so I designed Barragan-like looking lamp shapes. In case the two light sources in the luminaire each take on a different colour, the glow that arises between the colours resembles the works of painters such as Marc Rothko and Joseph Alberts or the creations of light artists such as Dan Flavin and James Turrell. Those familiar with the play with light (and colour) in Barragan's work will understand that those other artists are always near.
