DESIGN DAD: Designer: Christian Haas

Christian Haas is a German designer who currently works out of his own studio in Paris. He is a diverse designer, working on projects that include lighting, glass, porcelain, furniture, interior design, and graphics. Somewhat hard to distinguish between art and design, his work is quite spectacular. He has real talent with glass and porcelain, but he first caught my attention with the Ropes Light series that he developed in 2011. It is quite a light-hearted warm lamp that I would love to have hanging in a few spaces at home, especially our rumpus room. It just begs the question of what would happen when, not if, my boys try climbing them, I guarantee they would give it a shot.
