Jorge Pardo. ‘Brussels Lamps’. Full set of 5
About the Item
The Cuban-American artist Jorge Pardo is best known for his ability to transform familiar household objects into eye-catching artworks. Often combining technology with artisanal craft, his works are a perfect synthesis of form and function.
Inspired in part by Mexican baskets, these hand-crafted lamps are a determined labor of love. Each piece requires the 3D laser-cutting of 50 PETG plastic discs, shaped in ways that allow light to shine out in different directions. The discs are then painted by hand, before being stacked around the socket and bulb and held together by three steel rods and over 150 aluminum fittings.
The result is certainly worth it – a product of unique illumination and functionality. Revolvable, suspendable, and arrestingly beautiful, the lamps are designed to illuminate in different directions, bringing light to life and adding new dimensions to the home. Exclusive to TASCHEN and limited to five subtly different designs, each in an edition of 100, these shining, living pieces of art are available individually or as a complete set of five.
Jorge Pardo has worked with TASCHEN on many projects over the years, including the joyously colorful wall panels and lamps of the Brussels store. This latest collaboration, which draws inspiration from these earlier models, began with Pardo’s tried-and-tested creative process: he captures the notion on paper and only then starts to build the first prototype in his studio. This prototype goes through as many evolutions and reinventions as it takes to produce one that seizes his fascination.
His lamps are a serendipitous meeting of technology and creativity, often regarded as strange bedfellows: the hard-edged functionality and complexity of the one seemingly at odds with the imaginative fluidity of the other. Yet when it works, the result is something special – and these remarkable, limited-edition artworks are the perfect example.
This set of five Jorge Pardo Brussels Lamps includes models #01, #05, #06, #14, and #19, each in a total edition of 100.
Each lamp is also available individually.

TASCHEN
From his humble beginning selling comic books in his native Cologne to his rapidly expanding book publishing empire, Benedikt Taschen has been all about living large — literally. Sumo, a 464-page, 66-pound compendium of Helmut Newton’s photography is one of the largest and heaviest books ever produced — it comes with its own display stand — and among the most expensive, too. The first copy in a limited edition published in 1999 and signed by many of the celebrities whose images appear in its pages sold at auction for $364,000.
TASCHEN’s success derives from his personality: he publishes books that reflect his own diverse personal enthusiasms. TASCHEN’s lavishly produced art books run the gamut from the ridiculous (The Big Book of Breasts) to the sublime (17th-century naturalist Albertus Seba’s Cabinet of Natural Curiosities).
The TASCHEN catalog includes scholarly examinations of cultural icons such as Muhammad Ali, gorgeous monographs on painters like Hieronymous Bosch, exquisite books of photography like Sebastião Selgado’s Genesis and portfolios of muscle cars. In addition to his 11 bookstores located in the United States and Europe, TASCHEN recently opened an art gallery in Los Angeles devoted to photography.
As you can see from the titles available on these pages, you are more than likely to have an interest in common with Benedikt Taschen — and his marvelous books give you a way to explore it fully.
Also available as individual pieces.
