This is the second reinterpretation of the L25, a first edition limited to 20 pieces each: in pastel yellow, pastel green and pastel pink. Rietveld and his contemporaries in the De Stijl movement were very bold in their use of colour at the time. The new edition picks up on this courage. And makes a light, elegant, almost floating statement – as a deliberate counterpoint to the strict and constructed design language of the luminaire.

With the almost 40 centimetre high table lamp, which Rietveld designed in 1925, he transformed the horizontal and vertical into a captivating, small object whose filigree construction merges into a single unit thanks to the new colours. The paintwork is complex: the lamp has to be painted around five times to achieve its colour effect. This is what creates the soft look that makes it appear more sculptural and less technical. It was a challenge for Tecta to translate the design into contemporary LED technology. Today, the result is a luminaire that is as technically sophisticated as if it had been designed for modern light sources from the outset.
