Dramatic Lighting Design
Stefan Gant Creates Bold Concrete Luminaires
Stefan Gant, architect and product designer originally from Bavaria, founded the Gantlights label in 2011 while still studying at the Technical University Berlin. In his designs, Gant embraces minimalist forms and bold material contrasts. Working with materials such as concrete, wood, and precious metals, his studio in Berlin Neukölln creates distinctive lighting fixtures that define individual interior spaces.
The triangulated pendant lamp T1 is cast in gray concrete. Its gilded interior surfaces emit a warm, inviting glow. Whether displayed as a striking focal point or arranged in clusters, the lamp can dramatically enhance a dining table, sideboard, or bar counter. The spotlight from the S-Series combines compact design with a fluted surface inspired by the concave grooves found on columns and pillars of Roman architecture. The rotatable fixture allows for precise light direction and selective accent lighting, making it equally at home in a living room, kitchen, or office setting. The rectangular fixtures of the C-Series, measuring 122 x 8 x 8 centimeters, are particularly well-suited for illuminating long dining tables. With their minimalist aesthetic and striking material contrasts, these luminaires adapt seamlessly to any interior style. Customers can choose from various combinations of concrete or wood paired with precious metals. The light source is not permanently fixed, allowing for simple replacement whenever needed.
