DESIGNER
DESIGNER : DIMITRI BÄHLER
Swiss designer Dimitri Bähler launched his own studio in Biel in 2014 and has since been nominated for two Swiss Design Awards, directed a string of workshops and produced pieces for some of the world’s most adventurous design brands.
He studied product design at ECAL in Switzerland and at Design Academy Eindhoven in The Netherlands, before moving back to the area he grew up in to launch his practice.
Bähler describes his approach as spontaneous, radical and poetic, but with a foundation in substantial material and structural research.
In 2016, his experimental ceramics collection VPTC – created to explore the relationship between volumes, patterns, textures and colours by using both digital and traditional tools – was named as the grand prize winner at Biennale Interieur, the respected design biennial in Kortrijk, Belgium.

DETAIL
Swiss designer Dimitri Bähler joins the Established & Sons stable with Cho Light, a pair of tall, poetic floor lamps that are an exercise in literal and visual lightness only attainable using cutting-edge manufacturing techniques. A globe of crumpled, off-white, traditional Japanese Washi paper creates a diffused glow from an LED bulb, which is adjustable via a dimmer. This shade balances on a six-millimetre diameter carbon-fibre rod, which extends up from a weighted base to create the design’s almost impossibly light appearance. The tall, strong carbon-fibre rod produces a dancer-like movement when the light is touched, injecting a playfulness into the deceptive simplicity of Cho Light.
