Made from one standard folding safety-ladder and some low-energy LED lights, Stairway to Heaven was commisioned for a theater’s cafe not far from Pot’s studio in Eindhoven.

The winner of this year’s Frame-Moooi Award, this brilliant luminaire is now selling at DHPH. The chandelier comes in 3 sizes, featuring 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 steps and all models can be ordered with regular light bulbs or energy saving LED lights, here.
