The long fruit bowl

Inga-Wera-Jane Heymann is a product designer whose work focuses on enhancing the enjoyment of everyday objects. She creates functional art and collectible design. Alluring, one-of-a-kind geometric lampshades from werajane utilize handcraft techniques to chic effect, referencing 1970s aesthetics and au courant color palettes. Each lamp is unique, made to order, and completely handmade. Their painted structural frames are produced by a local metal workshop, and Heymann hand-weaves these in her studio with Italian cotton thread. She makes lamps in a variety of styles and sizes. From a distance, they resemble ancient, angular vases, and they range in depth and height from the relatively shallow “flying saucer” shapes to more elongated lanterns. Such combinations ensure that the lamps are as appealing by day as they are by night, when their produce a softly slatted, atmospheric light.
