Inga-Wera-Jane Heymann is an artist and designer based in Berlin, interested in the everyday gestures that shape our lives. Her studio combines elements of functional art and design, producing work that ranges from collectible pieces to practical objects. Each creation is thoughtfully designed to reflect the relationship between people, their environments, and the materials they interact with.
Process
Each lamp is unique and completely handmade.
Their painted structural frames are produced by a local metal workshop, and Heymann hand-weaves these in her studio with Italian cotton thread.
She makes lamps in a variety of styles and sizes, including pendants and table lamps. From a distance, they resemble ancient, angular vases, and they range in depth and height from the relatively shallow “flying saucer” shapes to more elongated lanterns.
Such combinations ensure that the lamps are as appealing by day as they are by night, when their produce a softly slatted, atmospheric light.
