02/10/2020 - The young classic among lamps – the oda by Sebastian Herkner for the German label pulpo – is now complemented by a new size and glass colour. The size in between closes the gap between the models oda big and oda medium. The new colour 'steel grey' radiates slightly bluish in mouth-blown glass from German manufacturer Poschinger.
Inspired by the industrial monuments photographed by the Düsseldorf photographers Bernd and Hilla Becher, Sebastian Herkner bundles up their outer shape and inner function in a steel casting foundry for oda.
Odas glowing homage to light is a source for coziness and has since 2014 become a reference to contemporary lighting design, captivating interest in numerous combinations of filigree frames and organic glass bodies with atmospheric lighting moods.
Each piece is created from coloured handblown glass. Bubbles, streaks and other variations in size and colour are part of the production process, and not defects of the design or production. The frame of oda is available in powder-coated or chrome-plated steel as well as in brass.
The series is made up of four sizes – small, medium, in between, big – and available in a range of color combinations.
