Charles & Marie

Since we are great devotees of classic interior design and love our classic furniture and accessories, you can imagine how delighted we were to come across Mark McKenna’s Designer Emulation Kits (DEK) from designers that created some of our favorite lighting fixtures.

Similar to the miniature chairs from Vitra, Mark's DEK's are meant to pay tribute to great modern designers of our time. Take one of these small, do-it-yourself contraptions (a computerized circuit board, to be precise), snap off its template, assemble and just plug it into a nine-volt battery (not included). Voila! A simple path to gorgeous light!

DEK 1 is the series’ flagship design, inspired by Ingo Maurer’s Lucellino. (10 x 10 cm)

DEK 4 is modeled after Castiglioni’s Toio. (16 x 12,5 cm)

DEK 5 emulates Philippe Starck's Miss K. This is the first DEK to have a shade, creating a diffused light, just like Stark's design. (10 x 10 cm)
