Candy Lamp John Lewis
Although the final outcome of each project is varied, the process is very much the same. Afroditi was commissioned by the John Lewis Partnership to design a signature desk lamp for their collection. “Real” (not the one involving pretty images stuck together on a mood board) research revealed an issue with their existing range: although their market is mainly domestic, their desk lamps are very “contract”, highly technical pieces. The Candy Lamp is designed with the domestic tablescape in mind, things like vases, fruit bowls and glasses sitting next to it. Also, it picks up on people’s little habits, like taking your watch off before going to bed, so it provides with a little bit of a resting area.
The Candy became the best selling lamp of the John Lewis range. In 2005, it was a finalist in the Laurent-Perrier Design Award and was voted as Observer’s Top Ten lights. The product entered the Innermost range of lighting, in February 2006.
