Description from the seller
LE ROI SOLEIL — Sculptural Wall / Ceiling Lamp
Rodrigo Vairinhos for NEO | Limited Handmade Edition
A contemporary tribute to the Sun King. A sculptural statement in light.
Inspired by Louis XIV, the legendary "Roi Soleil", this distinctive lamp reinterprets the grandeur of French royal design through a bold, contemporary language. Monumental in spirit yet precise in form, LE ROI SOLEIL brings together historical splendour, raw materiality and sculptural design.
Handcrafted between Portugal and Germany, each lamp combines stoneware, mineral concrete and aluminium in a striking composition of contrasting textures. Its tactile matte surfaces and industrial character give the piece a strong architectural presence, whether illuminated or displayed as a sculptural object.
Designed by Portuguese-German product designer Rodrigo Vairinhos for NEO, LE ROI SOLEIL challenges the boundaries between lighting, collectible design and functional sculpture.
Its versatile construction allows it to be installed on either a wall or ceiling, transforming its surroundings with a distinctive interplay of form, material and light.
More than a light source, LE ROI SOLEIL is an object of presence. Created in a limited handmade edition, every piece reflects the individuality of its making and the values of Slow Design: considered production, material integrity and enduring character.

Seller's Story
Born in Lisbon, Portugal, Vairinhos owes a M.A. degree in Industrial Design.
His education was much diversified providing him the essential tools to approach most of the design fields such as graphic, web and product design.
Right after concluding his Master graduation in Design, Vairinhos moved to Germany collaborating short after with several design studios, developing sanitary ware, bathroom accessories and furniture for German brands.
As a creative, Vairinhos product “strategy” is the innovative quest for the poetical minimalism directing towards the acute and the naive, and of course by geometry, so metaphorical and evocative, emotional and poetic at the same time.
His products are highlighting design modesty and the tendency to a renewed use of the so called traditional materials, such as wood or ceramics and a growing interest by the impeccable traditional craftsman’s hand work and technique.
The Designer highlights his work with the exceptional use of expression and playfulness linking it to a monotone-to-classic color pallet as most colors tend to fade, coming and going as time goes by, and Vairinhos creations are meant to remain and resist any trend waves.
He carefully chooses warm and organic materials and uses simple local production techniques since he is enthused with the idea of developing stylish products following the creation of uncomplicated shapes and the use of traditional materials that are well known by the end user.
