Madder Sunrise

Madder Sunrise brings together studio LoopLoop's latest research on sustainable materials. This flower-shaped light shade is made of aluminum foil that was plant-dyed through a unique technique developed by the studio, and embossed in an intricate pattern. LoopLoop developed its own embossing mill and patterns to achieve new light-weight materials with high rigidity. The result is a nearly 2 meter diameter disc of delicate aluminum foil that allows the warm shades of the madder dye to shimmer in space.

LoopLoop is a research-based studio for lasting design objects, fully designed & produced in Rotterdam. LoopLoop was nonchalantly born from a collaboration between Odin Visser and Charles Gateau. Odin is an expert in product development, lighting and industrial design, Charles brings together materials science, research and niche production techniques. They joined forces to explore a design and production approach that challenges the current paradigms in the field.
