ISP Table DCW – Ilia Potemine
ISP Wall DCW – Ilia Potemine

ISP is the acronym of Ilia Sergeevich Potemine, a young Russian-Italian designer with a wide range of talents, including aircraft pilot, painter and inventor.  His first creation for DCW, called ISP - with no switch, dimmer or bulb - is as much a singular object as a lamp. 

Housed in a polished brass case, a translucent tube containing a state-of-the-art LED circuit slides to dim the light. Equipped with an adjustable intensity brake, the tube can be positioned horizontally or vertically, on a wall or table. When it's completely out of the way, it gives off a powerful, comfortable light; when it's in its case, it gives off a cosy, mysterious light.

Some will see it as a technical object straight out of a Jules Vernes novel, while others will see it as a precious object that can add personality to any corner of the house.

Ilia Sergeevich Potemine

Ilia Sergeevich Potemine is Russian. Better still, he’s Italian-Russian : the original double agent. You may think he’s a designer. In reality he’s an airline pilot. The sky is his playground, the sun a revolutionary star and he has only dropped in on this earth for the time it takes for a quick layover. For the time it takes to design the extraordinary lights that are in complete contrast with what the mainstream is doing.

Flashback : for a nanosecond Howard Hughes comes to mind. And Potemine has taken off again. No law, no order. Except perhaps Achille Castiglioni who was the original radical, inventing the lights of the future at a time when creativity was bound only by time and space. Ilia Potemine, just 30 years old, is in the same vein. His ISP lamp is rooted in the same manifesto and defies classification.
