10 Cutting Edge Brutalist Lamps and Lights for 2023
The Brutalist movement, originating in the mid-20th century, continues to inspire artists, architects, and designers globally.

In the realm of lighting design, the Brutalist movement left an indelible mark, creating distinctive and bold pieces that fuse form and function. Explore our curated collection of 10 exceptional Brutalist lighting fixtures that epitomize the spirit of 2023, seamlessly blending raw power and illumination.

Trapeze by Koen Van Guijze
Koen Van Guijze is a lighting designer with Brutalist and minimalist roots. He works with ‘authentic’ materials such as steel, brass, concrete, cork, ceramics, sand, and paper to create one-of-a-kind collectible lighting pieces and site-specific projects.

“Cofit-20” by Atelier Haute Cuisine
“A Flanc de Falaise – Paysage” Lamp by Maxime Bellaunay
In “A Flanc de Falaise – Paysage” the light comes out of a crack in the stone and is reflected off the brass. The external treatment of the brass echoes the fragmented aspect of the stone.
O.F.I.S Series, Pipe, Rod & Brick Table Lamp by Lucas Muñoz
This ‘Pipe, Rod and Brick’ tubular steel table lamp forms part of the Series O.F.I.S (Objects From Intersticial Space) by Lucas Muñoz, which is an ongoing research of industrial material’s potential for narrative.
Roots of Home Lamp by Ruda Studio
Due to the war, many Ukrainians lost their homes and had to arrange their lives in temporary places of residence. The Roots of Home collection has an associative resemblance to an ancient Ukrainian hut, where the lampshade resembles a roof with a terracing of straw or shingles covered in the “tyruvannia” technique.
