MY GOAL WITH THE KissKissBankBank CAMPAIGN :

Thanks to your support, VLO design will offer the brand new Panthère collection, its first line of original limited edition lamps made in series of 50 copies of each model and offered in five colors.

The first mold prototype for the collection Panthère.

Working in my workshop in Müncheberg.

All parts have been drawn in the VLO design workshop and will be made in Germany using durable materials. Inspired by the Bauhaus and American visual arts movements of the 1960’s, the Panthère collection dons pure lines and highlights the materials. The lamps will be mainly made of hand-moulded and finished polymer plaster, allowing each piece to preserve its unique character. Each lamp will be numbered and marked with the embossed VLO design logo. In addition to meeting an existing demand, these products will increase the efficiency and profitability of my production.

Yay! First prototypes of the new collection Panthère made of polymer plaster.

Research and experiments with different color pigments.

With this campaign, I hope to:

· Meet my customers’ demands for series of identical or similar lamps (for commercial customers, amongst others).

· Develop my independence as far as materials go, no longer needing to rely solely on what is available on the antiques market, which also lowers production costs.

· Broaden my creative possibilities by designing every part of the lamp.

· Increase the efficiency of the lamp production, the visual documentation necessary for marketing and the promotion of products.
