DORIDE Lamp


Karim Rashid is a name in the designing world that has long evoked mixed reactions from both the critics and the casual observers alike- Just like the work of every famous artist does! The DORIDE Lamp though is a design that really has everyone excited for its unique blend of design and style principles. The DORIDE itself is inspired by nature and mimics the structure of a leaf floating away in the wind.


The understated classic that it is, the lamp uses articulated, hydro-formed, metal stem attached to a molded-steel base that houses the electronic ballast. The head of the lamp, where all its beauty lies with intricate vein-like pattern, can be rotated through an angle of 350 degrees and due to its design helps eliminate direct glare. Sleek, stylish and keeping in line with the current minimalist trend.

“I find the DORIDE Lamp to be very graceful, sleek and chic in the way it looks and feels. The way in which the lamp uses leaf veins as inspiration for is clever and elegant. I really do like design and hope to emulate its soft calming feel.”
