The object
Sebastian Bergne designed Lamp Shade 1, a mass-manufactured lighting fixture cut from a single acid-etched stainless-steel sheet and transformed from flat packaging into a curved bulb reflector. MoMA credits Bergne and the German manufacturer Radius, while his February 2025 design event participation provides direct current activity evidence.
