Studio BAAG took inspiration by children’s toys and created furniture and home accessories defined by a playful imprint and a story-telling humour.
Designer Caroline Bauer and architect Pier Francesco Galuppini, founders of Studio BAAG, transformed a spinning top in a table lamp, a leapfrog stool in a comfy pouf and a simple shape-game in a modular candle holder. The Swedish-Italian design duo meshes genuine craftsmanship and functionality enhancing the use of natural materials. studiobaag.com
An old-fashioned spinning top and its whirling movement becomes a playful table-lamp that creates a dynamic presence in the room: Pirouette is composed from turned carrara, bardiglio and nero marquinia marble with brass details and opaline plexiglass.
The project by Studio BAAG comes also in wood, the spinning base is composed from turned ash, oak or walnut wood, with a really playful attitude.
