Ultra-Minimalist Cozy Oil Lanterns

John Pawson Collaborates with Wästberg on a Timeless Design

Architect John Pawson produces a beautifully minimalist oil lantern in collaboration with Swedish lighting company Wästberg. The product will undoubtedly be a fitting addition to most interiors. From the ultra-modern dwelling that favors sleek and elegant design to the rustic cottage that gives its residents a break from the urban city, the 'Holocene no.4' will definitely contribute to the overall feeling of comfort.

The John Pawson x Wästberg fixture has a non-electric mechanism and given the push of the tech revolution, its functional properties add to its charm. The designers complete the silhouette of the oil lantern with a combination of stainless steel and aluminium. For an extra subdued effect, the exterior of the lamp is kept matte.
