Slaatto is the brilliant mind behind the Patera lamp for Danish lighting manufacturer Louis Poulsen in 2015. Inspired by math (read: the Fibonacci sequence), the shape of the sun and the incredibly compelling patterns found in nature, the pendant is visually intriguing – almost like poetry.

“You will find the spiral pattern wherever you look in nature, like in the seed formation in sunflowers and pinecones, for instance,” he explains. “What you find in nature is the result of billions of years of evolution. Since only the best design has survived, it would be stupid not to study what you find out there,” he adds.
Fondly known as the 21st-century offspring of Louis Poulsen’s popular PH lamp, the Patera directs light through small diamond-shaped cells that sit at various angles to the source. Like what Poul Henningsen did with the iconic Paris lamp, Slaatto managed to conceal the glary bulb and, in turn, create the cosy ambience that people are receptive of.
