Haussmann

Designed by Robert Haussmann in the mid-1960s, this iconic lighting collection is now reissued under official license in collaboration with Remains Lighting Company. Beginning with a five-port molecular hub, the Haussmann collection can realize many forms and sizes, ranging from the simplest flush mount to large scale customizable installations.

About the Lighting Collection

Remains Lighting Co. has memorialized several iconic molecular lighting configurations: hex, square, etc., but the possibilities are limitless with this collection. All the elements are machined from solid brass bars and are connected and wired discretely in their channels. The molecule chandeliers and pendants hang from delicate and strong braided aircraft cable, with the power connection draping loosely in a fabric cord. Many of the pendants and chandeliers also feature beehive glass—handblown Italian shades that form concentric rings around each point of light. These distinctive diffusers are available in Dusk, a translucent cool gray, or Sfumato, a gradient that shifts from clear to opal.

About Trix & Robert Haussmann

The Swiss design team of Robert Haussmann and his wife and design partner Trix Haussmann studied architecture and design with modern masters such as Gerrit Rietveld, Valerio Oligiati, Willy Guhl, and Ernst Gisel. They gained critical acclaim in the 1960s with their interiors and furniture design, combining precise craft in unusual combinations (wood marquetry and mirror, tromp l’oeil upholstery, chair frames made of neon tubes) and references to classic forms that unfold to reveal functional qualities. They continue working, exhibiting, and winning awards in design from their studio in Zurich.
