About the Lens Luminaire

Through a close inquiry into an opticianís process and production, Object Density have realised the opportunity to redefine an element of waste. The Lens Luminaire seeks to reinstate the value of imperfect optical lenses, by highlighting their inherent beauty and unique distortive qualities.

De Admirant, historically known as De Bruine Heer, formerly served as the Philips design head office, and is one of Eindhoven’s most iconic buildings. Now standing at the foot of the building is an optician & coffee cafe.

Drawing upon the city’s history of lighting innovation, New Objectivity architecture, and the re-contextualisation of a waste stream, The Lens Luminaire is the tangible convergence of inspiration. As a physical expression of Eindhoven’s city culture - past and present, we reflect upon how this interplay may shape its future.
