Océane Delain and Béatrice Durandard. Their collaboration began when they first met in 2010 during an internship in one of
IKEA’s departments in
Älmhult,
Sweden. Aware of their similar approach to applied arts, they decided to put their ideas together and to participate in the inaugural edition of ADREAM, a European contest of architecture and design using eco
friendly,
natural materials. Awarded the first prize in the students category, their lamp collection, AURA, bears witnesses to their wish to combine design and craftsmanship in a project that is respectful of both the environment and people:, the designer, the consumer and the manufacturer.

Their is two ways the lamp can be used: as a wall appliance or suspended from the ceiling. We noticing that the
light source is not pinpoint but dispersed all around the woven rattan disc. The absence of an
electric light bulb is apparent in the hollow center of the lamp. Its surface is adorned with luminous bands composed of multiple spots of light. These are
light emitting diodes, very energy efficient, commonly known as “leds”.
