Designer
- Bernhard & Susanne DESSECKER
Cheerio floor lamp designed by the Dessecker in 1988 and produced in Germany.
The lamp features a slender vertical structure made of thin metal rods resting on a circular base, supporting a suspended square papier shade held in place by a tension system. The composition creates a light and graphic presence, with the illuminated textile appearing to float within the structure. The fabric diffuser emits a soft, atmospheric light, contrasting with the strict linearity of the metal frame. It is equipped with the TipTronic system allowing lighting by touch.
The Cheerio lamp reflects Ingo Maurer's poetic and experimental approach to lighting design in the late 1980s, combining light engineering, visual balance and sculptural expression.
