Inspired by the Nordic Sun

The “Solare” collection draws inspiration from the sun’s radiant energy, translating light into unique shapes and textures. As a continuation of the Kaamos series, the design reflects the ever-changing Nordic seasons, seamlessly blending illumination with shadow. While embracing futuristic aesthetics, the collection remains deeply rooted in Iittala’s long-standing heritage.

Crafted for Function and Beauty

At the core of the collection is a selection of mouth-blown glassware, meticulously crafted by artisans at Iittala’s Finnish factory. These glass pieces manipulate light and reflections, creating a visually dynamic experience. Meanwhile, the ceramic designs feature an embossed surface that not only enhances grip but also adds depth and practicality. This design approach allows for seamless stacking, making the collection both functional and elegant.

Global Launch and Availability

Iittala’s “Solare” collection will launch worldwide on March 21 and will be available at Iittala stores, online, and select retailers. With its innovative design and seamless integration with existing Iittala collections, the line offers a personalized dining experience for every occasion.

Timeless Design with Modern Adaptations

The VL 45 Radiohus Portable Lamp retains the elegance of its predecessor, featuring the same signature shades and brass details. However, this updated version includes a brass base and a leather strap for added portability. Unlike the original pendant, this lamp is designed for outdoor use, making it an ideal choice for balconies and gardens. With a rain-resistant build, it provides up to five hours of continuous illumination, ensuring a cozy ambiance wherever it’s placed.

Seamless Indoor and Outdoor Functionality

Indoors, the lamp complements other Vilhelm Lauritzen designs while offering easy portability between rooms. Its 360-degree, glare-free illumination makes it perfect for living spaces, bedrooms, and children’s rooms. Additionally, its warm glow enhances the atmosphere in restaurants and hotels, making it a stylish addition to any décor.

Premium Craftsmanship and Smart Features

Crafted from glossy, mouth-blown, multi-layered glass, the lamp boasts brass details available in both hairline and lacquered finishes. Unlike untreated brass, these finishes prevent patination over time, preserving its polished appearance. The lamp also includes advanced dimming technology, allowing users to adjust brightness by simply touching the brass top. This feature ensures seamless synchronization across multiple lamps or manual brightness control for a personalized lighting experience.

Availability and Pricing

The VL 45 Radiohus Portable Lamp is available in three elegant shades—Opal White, Pale Rose, and Pale Yellow. It is now available for purchase through Louis Poulsen for $680 USD.

The initial collection celebrates elements of nature—land, sea, and air—which resonate globally and carry unique significance in the Middle East. Selo noted that “nature has a universal appeal” that speaks to the diverse yet harsh landscapes of the region, while also suiting both contemporary and traditional interiors. The pieces are available for individual homeowners and interior designers alike, with Selo predicting that “sea-inspired” designs could be particularly popular among coastal dwellers due to the calming effect of oceanic imagery.

Future releases will explore other themes from the Met’s 1.5 million works, which span 5,000 years of art history. Sedar also hopes to incorporate Middle Eastern influences, aiming to blend global art heritage with regional cultural expressions. Selo shared that the team is actively exploring opportunities to include local artistry, which would “add that unique Middle Eastern touch” to upcoming designs.

In his own home, Selo prefers bold colors and industrial aesthetics, revealing a personal taste for abstract works by Wassily Kandinsky. He believes Kandinsky’s geometric styles can bring depth and become focal points in a room.

This innovative Met x Sedar collaboration not only broadens access to fine art but also introduces art as a versatile part of everyday living spaces.
