Contemporary Glossy White Stoneware Suspension Lamp, Minimalist Design TWIN 1.1

NEO is a distinguished design studio founded by Portuguese-German designer Rodrigo Vairinhos, based in Cologne, Germany. My mission centers on creating democratic daily-use objects that embody strong character and personality, designed to meet the needs of contemporary users who seek timeless aesthetics and quality craftsmanship. Embracing the principles of the "Slow Design" movement, I prioritise thoughtful processes, research, and real-life impact testing, allowing our products to integrate seamlessly into everyday life. In a world dominated by "Fast Design", I focus on creating pieces that are meaningful and built to last. Crafted from local, non-toxic materials such as wood, ceramic, and cork, my designs support local industries and craftspeople while ensuring environmental sustainability. NEO’s creations celebrate both local and global influences, reflecting a positive “industrial culture.” Rodrigo Vairinhos draws inspiration from observing people's needs, ensuring his products resonate with the modern era's zeitgeist. His work showcases exceptional expression and playfulness, often utilizing a muted color palette that withstands trends. At NEO, I continuously explore new design fields and engage with diverse cultures, all while maintaining a commitment to timeless design, quality craftsmanship, and a sustainable future.
