the design is based on interlocking geometric circles, sticking out in all directions. bau has an immediate pattern that is broken up by the discs colours, sizes and off-centre linkages, making the lamp living and organic in its expression.

vibeke fonnesberg schmidts designs are often based on geometric shapes, and her love for architecture is also reflected in the bau lamp. In german, bau means construction, and it is exactly the lamps construction and composition that create an expression of harmonious disharmonics.  

designer vibeke fonnesberg schmidt explains:

Decoration does not need to be restricted to objects you hang on the wall, but can also form an integral part of more functional objects, such as a table or a lamp. This creates new and exciting opportunities in furnishing. When you move your position in relation to Bau, the tight geometric lines are broken. The sort of experience I want people to have is to see the Bau lamp and wonder what it looks like from the other side. It must appeal to peoples sense of curiosity
