The Holocene No. 4, designed by John Pawson for Wastberg, takes the notion of the oil lantern and meticulously reduces it to its essence in function, form and palette. The lantern is fabricated in stainless steel and aluminium, with matte exterior surfaces and a polished internal core, designed to reflect and amplify the flame.
This lamp is designed for indoor and outdoor use, and scaled to feel comfortable and at home in a range of applications - singularly or in groups, on the dining table or windowsill, floor standing or hanging.
John pawson
For over 30 years, John Pawson CBE’s work – rigorous in its simplicity and modesty – has addressed the fundamentals of architecture. It spans a wide range of scales and typologies, from private residences, museums, and hotels, to ballet sets and sacred spaces.
Like Alvar Aalto’s bronze door handle – “the handshake of a building” – Pawson’s work engages with a philosophy of space through sight and touch. He applies the exact same approach to both buildings and design commissions: “it’s all architecture”.
Regardless of scale, all of his projects share a consistent focus on mass, volume, surface, proportion, junction, geometry, repetition, light and ritual. In this way, even a modest fork becomes a vehicle for much broader ideas about how we live and what we value.
