Hello everyone, this is Ito.
Just when you thought the sweltering summer heat had finally subsided, the typhoon has caused unstable weather in the Kanto region, making you feel gloomy...
I'm already dreading the cold winter weather, but I think it will mean I'll be spending more time indoors and having fun redecorating my interior.
Today we would like to introduce you to the lighting from VERSMISSEN, a Dutch interior brand.
Founded in 1970, the company incorporates modern elements into the primitive tastes of Asia, Africa, and other regions to develop designs that are both original and practical.
All of the lighting is beautiful, so I would like to introduce them to you right away.
OTIS LAMP＋SHADE19
This piece is eye-catching with its beautiful yellow velvet and shiny vermilion ceramic base. The lampshade is 45cm in diameter and has a presence like an objet d'art even when it is turned off. The gorgeous atmosphere of the velvet material is also attractive.
The soft light that leaks out from the light source creates a fantastical effect, making this an item that will become the focal point of any space.
OVO 1 Lamp+Shade 35 
This piece is unified in a single tone with a matte ceramic base and white shade.
Although the design is simple, the base, which harmonizes curves and straight lines, gives it a sculptural silhouette that is characteristic of VERSMISSEN, creating an edgy appearance.
BOOTY LAMP 
This table lamp is named "booty," which is American English slang for "buttocks."
As the name suggests, the ceramic base is shaped like the back of a glamorous woman, making this a unique piece that exudes the sexiness that is characteristic of VERSMISSEN.
The uneven base has a sense of shadow even though it is solid black, giving it an objet d'art appearance. The different shades and tones of the glaze prevent the piece from appearing monotonous, and accentuate its individuality.
The lampshade is made of natural beige fabric, giving it a calm atmosphere, making it easy to fit into a variety of spaces.
Flute Pendant Lamp 
This pendant lamp also resembles an objet d'art, with its three-panel silhouette inspired by the silhouette of a flute.
The black painted ceramic base gives this lamp a heavy, stately appearance, and when it is lit, the unevenness of the copper-painted shade reflects the light and gives it a brilliant shine.
How about using it as a focal point to sharpen up the space?
Recommended for luxurious spaces.
STORM DOME PENDANT LAMP 
This piece has a primitive impression with its rough ceramic-based material.
The slightly thick ceramic shade and curved form have a gentle feel, encapsulating the stylishness that is characteristic of VERSMISSEN.
Although it is small, this lighting fixture is perfect as an accent for any space.
What did you think?
The stylish and edgy designs of Versmissen lamps are cool, like art pieces, but may seem difficult to incorporate into your home or store, so you may hesitate to use them. However, at Serote Antiques, we combine these Versmissen lamps with vintage furniture and incorporate them into layouts to provide reference points for use in your home or store, so be sure to check them out when you visit the store.
So see you in the next blog post!
