Lisbon-Based Design Studio MOR Debuts New Store and Lighting Collection 

Last month, new design studio MOR opened its first storefront in Lisbon’s LX Factory, a former industrial site in the Alcântara district that has become a creative hub in recent years. The studio is celebrating the new store with the launch of its first lighting collection, called BULB. Lisbon-based designer Pedro Sottomayor designed four lamps (available in two sizes) representing simple geometric shapes: a cylinder, a cone, a sphere, and a hemisphere.

“Each lamp is hand blown in Portugal in a region called Marinha Grande,” the designers told us in a recent email. “Our intention with the lamps was to create the illusion of solid bodies sustained by a single cable. They are made in opal white glass and their inner light derives from a LED lamp that one can easily place inside the glass bulb. The rest of the components are hidden inside the lamp. These subtle details make the lamps look like they are floating almost effortlessly in the air and allows the light to spread a very gentle glow with a warm character.”

As with their previous work, the focus is on subtle details that “achieve the most complex result: simplicity.” We especially like the timeless CAST chair, whose structure neatly hugs the seat.
