Vietnamese furniture and lighting brand BằNG recently introduced its latest lighting collection, Lớp. This artful lighting collection embodies an innovative idea: a sphere floating amidst layers. When lit, reflections of the sphere materialise on the acrylic layers, evoking images of a sphere in motion. Even though the sphere is stationary, its multiple reflections instil a sense of movement.
The creative director and designer of BằNG, Thomas Vincent, has given shape to Lớp. His design is rooted in BằNG’s core values: a commitment to superb craftsmanship, innovative design, and manufacturing excellence. The collection encapsulates the design philosophy of the brand, which is deeply connected to materials and processes, as denoted by its name “BằNG”, a Vietnamese preposition for “made by” or “made from”.
Winner of the Archiproducts Design Award in 2023 and curated for the Centre Pompidou Boutique, Lớp is a testament to BằNG’s attention to detail and quality. Available in four sizes and eight vibrant colours, the collection also features a special stainless-steel edition. Each layer of the stainless-steel version is manually polished, creating a mirror finish that exemplifies the brand’s dedication to superior quality and craftsmanship.
Beyond being simply a collection of lamps, Lớp is a reflection of the contemporary Vietnamese design landscape. This collection challenges conventional views and serves as a testament to the country’s flourishing design industry. Lớp confidently embodies a modern Vietnam where design and creativity are limitless.
