iiode is a lighting brand making bright, caring products. In 2026, we launch Re27: a serviceable E27 LED bulb made from recycled materials, offering natural light quality and gentle smart control. Repairable by design and made in Switzerland with EU-made parts, Re27 updates existing luminaires and enhances new fixtures. Lighting made conscious.

At Matter and Shape 2026, iiode presents a collaborative exhibition centred on the Re27 light bulb. Eight invited designers/studios have developed lampshades for a shared Re27 base — Dimitri Bähler, BIG-GAME, Jörg B***r, From Lighting, Alexandra Ge**er, Vanessa Schindler, Charlotte Talbot & Jonathan Mauloubier, Panter & Tourron — released as playful limited editions exploring materials and pendant-light uses.

Happy to share in time with the meteo :)

Born from a shared passion with for clay and plants, DBSR is an ongoing exploration of the planter typology.

Crafted from different clay types we encounter along our journey, each piece is unique, made “on the go” and entirely by hand.

Some of the DBSR pieces are still available through the dedicated account and can be picked up directly at the studio with their plant (in many case, grown from the seed). Shipments are only possible without plant.


The first batch of the project has been shown in its entirety in the Dust & Sunlight show at end of last year.

After a very long journey, the Looped Wall/Ceiling Lamp for is finally out!
Looped offers a fully illuminated design with soft, dimmable light. The three-layered, mouth-blown glass with coiled edges creates a subtle 3D effect that changes depending on the angle, casting a halo of light with shifting rings onto the wall or ceiling. With its mono-material design, the casing becomes the lamp itself, bringing a quiet yet efficient presence. Elegant in repetition, it refines hallways and ceilings with ambient and functional lighting. The user-replaceable LED ensures long-lasting functionality. The IP44 version is built to handle humidity and light splashes, making it a suitable and refined choice for bathroom use.

A big thank you to:

Dust & Sunlight

A few weeks left to visit my first solo show with !

Infos bellow.


“Potted plants set the tone—simple, yet too intentional to be overlooked. The hand-built pots, made with gardener Sebastian Rüdisüli, carry time, traces, and the impulse to shape with one’s hands—personal, grounding, immediate. Here, the cultivation of plants meets the cultivation of making, opening the question of what comes into view and what slips past.

In botany, the term plant blindness refers to the tendency to see plants as undifferentiated green. Bähler’s work resists this blur of perception. From this starting point, he turns to fragments left at the margins. A discarded family table is reshaped into softened benches and side pieces; concrete and steel are reworked into sculptural supports or a low table on castors; metal bends into lighting objects—pared back rather than engineered.

These works remain open to irregularities, proposing a way of making that is deliberate yet unforced—shaped through simple interventions rather than polish or market logic. Dust and Sunlight turns Bähler’s studio into a landscape—between shed and garden, in the long light of summer, where hours of sanding meet direct, intuitive making—unforced yet precise. The image recalls Gilles Clément’s jardin en mouvement, where growth is not imposed but guided. Bähler’s approach is one of tending—restrained yet open, attentive to what grows at the edges.”

Happy to be part of Exhibition Vol.02: Transfiguration of Clay (Becoming Form) with the Unround Planters protos.

The Unround Planters set shapes come from a series of practical experimentation consisting of deforming freshly thrown clay cylindres, hence the name “unround”. Slowly, the pieces take their organic shapes that referring to the plasticity of raw clay.

On a functional level, the Unround Planters have been designed with a modular aspect in mind. Indeed, in a three piece set, the medium piece can either become the planter or the saucer, so two combinaisons are possible with only three pieces instead of four. In the same way, three combinations would be possible with only four pieces, instead of six. Four combinations with only five pieces, etc…
The idea being that the drainage hole can be produced in a second phase, depending if the container should become a planter or a saucer.

This modular aspect, paired with the formal one, allow endless combinations possibilities, depending on how the planter plays with its saucer once stacked together.
