Hungarian designer and architect Mathieu Matégot was credited to be one of the most renowned French designers of the 1950s. He settled in France after graduating at Budapest’s School of Art and Architecture. He returned from his volunteering in the French army in 1944 and begun to produce handcrafted furniture in Paris. 
  
  Matégot utilized many organic forms and had an incredibly light touch in his designs to portray a feeling of delight. He was the first to combine metal tubing with perforated sheet metal, a patented technique called ritigulle. These revolutionary and innovative techniques he used in his designs resulted in a body of work that continues to inspire many modern designers to this day. 
  
  Many of his furniture pieces for Gubi such as the iconic Copacabana Lounge chair, Mategot coffee table and the Mategot Demon black metal stringer showcases his unique metal techniques and are characterized for their contemporary industrial style.

Danish architect and designer Louis Weisdorf graduated from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen in 1954 and since then has gathered a diverse range of projects in the areas of graphic-, interior- and industrial design. He is a versatile worker and has over 60 years of experience in many fields of design, making him an iconic multi-designer. 
  
  Weisdorf has always been keen in creating lighting furniture from a single element that can be built and formed together in multiple ways. He was led by the concept of shielding the eyes from the direct glare of a bulb at all angles. This was artfully crafted in the Turbo Pendant in 1967 for Gubi. The Multi-Lite Pendant by Gubi is also a signature lighting fixture that showcases the sensibilities of Weisdorf as a designer.

What is Statement Lighting?


Statement lighting refers to eye-catching, bold fixtures that serve as both functional sources of light and focal points in a room. Unlike standard lighting, which simply illuminates a space, statement lighting serves to make a visual impact and showcase the personality of the room. These fixtures are often large, artistic, or uniquely designed, adding an element of drama and sophistication. Whether it’s an oversized chandelier, a sleek geometric pendant, or a sculptural floor lamp, statement lighting captivates attention and can completely transform the ambiance of a room.

Whether it’s an oversized chandelier, a sleek geometric pendant, or a sculptural floor lamp, statement lighting captivates attention and can completely transform the ambiance of a room.

Why Statement Lighting Matters in Modern Interiors


1. Visual Impact A statement light fixture has the power to turn a simple, plain room into a stunning space. Its bold design serves as a visual anchor, ensuring that the lighting becomes a dominant feature in the space. By using statement lighting, you can add a striking element that elevates the overall aesthetic and brings a sense of style to any room. 2. Design Focal Point Statement lighting creates a centerpiece around which the rest of the room’s design can be arranged. Whether it’s a dazzling chandelier in a dining room or a sculptural pendant light in a living room, it draws attention and helps tie the entire design together. This makes the room feel well thought-out and cohesive, where all the elements complement one another. 3. Personal Expression Lighting is an often-overlooked way to showcase personal style. A statement fixture reflects your taste and sets the tone for the room. With statement lighting, you can choose pieces that reflect your aesthetic—whether it's industrial, vintage, minimalist, or luxurious. Gubi lighting, for example, offers a wide range of statement pieces that cater to various tastes and design preferences, allowing you to infuse your personality into your space.

The Benefits of Statement Lighting in Your Home


1. Enhances Ambiance and Mood Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the atmosphere of a room. Statement lighting fixtures don’t just provide illumination—they help create the mood you want to evoke. For instance, a warm, dimmable chandelier in the living room can make the space feel cozy and intimate, while a sleek, modern pendant light in the kitchen can energize the room, enhancing its functionality without compromising style. In Singapore, where homes often blend both contemporary and traditional designs, the right statement lighting can add that perfect finishing touch. 2. Adds Personality to Spaces Every room tells a story, and statement lighting is a great way to contribute to that narrative. Whether you opt for a sculptural design, like the Turbo Pendant Lamp by Gubi, or a classic piece like the Grashoppa Floor Lamp, these fixtures offer a unique way to express your taste and style. Gubi lighting is known for its timeless designs that stand out in any setting, offering pieces that blend seamlessly into a variety of décor styles while still making a statement. 3. Acts as a Focal Point A well-designed room requires a focal point, and statement lighting is one of the best ways to achieve this. Whether it’s a dramatic chandelier or a minimalist pendant light, a statement lighting fixture commands attention, ensuring it becomes the heart of the room. By using statement lighting, you can balance the room’s proportions, making even large spaces feel intimate and cozy, or adding drama to smaller spaces.
