Thomas Bình-Minh Vincent's Dreamy Lớp Lamp Captures Iridescent Sky in Opal Glass

architecture-design · 2026-04-01

Designer Thomas Bình-Minh Vincent, originally from France and now based in Vietnam, has unveiled Dreamy Lớp, a sculptural lighting fixture inspired by an iridescent sky seen one spring afternoon. This piece is the newest addition to his Lớp collection, which received a German Design Award in 2025 and has been featured at the MoMA Design Store and Centre Pompidou Boutique. Using opal glass in its layered design, the lamp mimics the chromatic effects of light diffraction through high-altitude water droplets. It consists of a central glass sphere encircled by parallel acrylic layers supported by inox spacers, generating reflections that evoke movement. Available in multiple shapes and sizes, this user-assembled lamp creates a continuously shifting rainbow light display. Vincent charmingly describes it as "Dreamlike silhouette by day. Chromatic geometry by night." The term "Lớp" translates to "layers" in Vietnamese, and the collection's retro-futuristic style has attracted attention for enhancing home decor. The designer ensured that assembly remains straightforward, requiring no specialized tools. Dreamy Lớp can be purchased directly from BẰNG's website.
