More information

PAPER LIGHTS is a new collection inspired by the world of reading. These lights reference familiar gestures and forms - such as carrying a newspaper under the arm or the shape and feel of a well-used book. With proportions, textures and materials reminiscent of paper and cardboard, these lights explore both direct and indirect illumination.

During the London Design Festival, visitors to Tenderbooks will be able to discover this new collection of light objects alongside Livia Lauber’s BOCKSHELF and a selection of her latest design pieces. BOCKSHELF is a compact custom bookshelf originally created by Lauber to store her favourite reference books. Equipped with castors, the shelf can be easily moved around a studio space. At Tenderbooks the BOCKSHELF will be arranged with Lauber’s curated selection of design titles. Placement of SOLO stools will encourage visitors to browse the titles with the opportunity to sit and read comfortably. The installation will be accompanied by an editorial project, created in collaboration with Studio Ardworks.

We are excited for our annual dinner at Valvona & Crolla in Edinburgh on the 13th of September, with good food and even better company.
