"There's something magnetic about objects that refuse to stay in their lane. Byredo and designer Benoit Lalloz have created exactly that kind of rule-breaker with Infra Luna 2.0, a desk lamp that doubles as a candle warmer, triples as a sculptural statement piece, and somehow manages to look like it landed here from a more aesthetically interesting future. This is the second collaboration between Byredo founder Ben Gorham and Lalloz, and it's clear they've hit their creative stride."
"The concept sounds almost too clever: a halogen lamp that uses its own heat to melt a candle placed beneath it, releasing fragrance while casting ambient light. It's part science lab experiment, part art installation, and entirely functional. Hybrids like this don't just mutate, they evolve into something that makes you rethink what everyday objects can be. Lalloz brings serious design credentials to the table."
Infra Luna 2.0 is a halogen desk lamp that functions as a candle warmer, ambient light source, and sculptural object. The lamp's halogen heat melts a candle placed beneath, releasing fragrance while producing atmospheric illumination. The design merges scientific experimentation and art installation qualities with practical functionality. Benoit Lalloz combines architectural rigor with artisanal craftsmanship to create objects that feel futuristic yet human and technically precise yet soulful. The aesthetic draws inspiration from entomofauna, using iridescent, fluorescent, and metallic color codes reminiscent of beetle sheens, dragonfly wings, and vivid butterfly hues to produce an electric, unexpected palette.
