# Fluid Structural Lighting Collections Sebastian Herkner Designs the Loja Lights for Midgard Licht By Amy Duong | Published 2025-04-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loja References: [sebastianherkner](https://sebastianherkner.com/)  Sebastian Herkner designs the Loja collection of lights for German brand [Midgard Licht](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silk-grey). It is defined by [curved paper lampshades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-drape-light) which are carefully angled to control the direction of light. The namesake nods to Loja Saarinen, who is a Finnish-American textile artist and sculptor. The capsule is made up of a floor lamp, [pendant lamp](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warp-lamp), and table lamp -- all of which are made with the sweeping paper shade at a tilt. Designer Sebastian Herkner speaks on the design, "The soft, dynamic shape of the lampshade encourages interaction and invites users to direct the light as they wish. Like a hat that you wear casually on your head, the shade can be swivelled into the desired position with a flick of the wrist."
