Story
The design of the Moooi Emperor Lamp was inspired by an Asian folklore story of an Asian Emperor and a beautiful Nightingale. The story goes like this: Once upon a time the Emperor was given a Nightingale as a gift. The bird was so beautiful and sang in such a bewitching way that the Emperor fell immediately in love with it and decided to keep it forever by his side. So the Nightingale was put in a beautiful, majestic cage in the imperial chambers and became the delight of the Emperors days.
The Emperor Lamp is modelled on this story and the shade is supposed to resemble the cage.
Each Moooi cage is woven by hand and therefore has a unique character. There is a touch dimmer that is operated by touching the stem.
