Sander Mulder Clear Acrylic Lamps
A good light can make a room, and a great light can make a home. The Sander Mulder Clear Acrylic Lamps are clearly the latter, no pun intended. These clear acrylic lamps channel and shape light across the many fine details of their own symmetric contours. Sander Mulder has created three different styles of their clear acrylic lamps, including the Marie-Louise table top lamp, the Josephine floor lamp and the Therese chandelier. While the design and technology of these lamps are purely contemporary, their shapes are Victorian in spirit. To that end, we salute Sander Mulder’s vision in creating a series of lighting that commands both interest and appreciation the moment they’re turned on.
