DAS studio
DAS studio is an architecture and design studio founded by Félix de Montesquiou. He graduated from theÉcole Spéciale d'Architecture in 2011.
Passionate about architecture, scenography, design, cabinet-making and lighting, DAS studio ensures that cross-disciplinary knowledge is brought to each of its projects. Their primary aim is toexperiment with new creative processes. DAS studio therefore works with architects and designers as weel ascarpenters, cabinetmakers, an electrical engineer and a visual artist. Each architect/designer oversees the project from conception to production, including working drawings, with the intention of achieving a suitable and innovative result.
In over ten years of practise, DAS studio has developed a " minimalist" or "brutalist"identity . Working with noble yet raw materials - concrete, wood, metal - justifies focusing on the essential and confronting spatial and material issues. This refined aesthetic is particularly evident in the concrete coffee tables, which impose their lines with sobriety and delicacy.
The lamp Spear was designed for one of Félix de Montesquiou's friend, a Swiss guard at the Vatican, to whom he had humorously said he would design a halberd-lamp for his wedding.. The result is a martial sketch of a medieval spear.
Working with Studio Mur, their new lamp will be presented for the 2025 edition, the lamp B. An aluminum tube illuminated by LEDs stands on a grey-tinted concrete base, shaped like a cube or cylinder. Elegance and purity prevail for this piece, which echoes the Brutalist aesthetic of the early days.
