Forma Table Light
SCULPTURAL WARMTH
With his Forma design, Christian Haas interprets the 1940s/50s archetype of a classic desk lamp in solid wood. He reduced the original shape without trivializing it and thus created an unmistakable silhouette: the asymmetry of the base and the domed shade of glued solid wood stripes, make the design appear to have grown organically. The inherent warmth and sensuousness of the naturally grown material of which Forma is made, ash or walnut wood, lends the new luminaire its homely character. An almost invisible push button in the base guarantees easy operation. The large, slightly inclined shade with a sanitized diffuser panel and a dimmable warm white LED ring provides pleasant, glare-free light. Forma is versatile and cuts a fine figure on a desk as well as on a sideboard, shelf or bedside table.
Base and lamp shade solid ash, with clear varnish or black lacquered, or solid walnut, with clear varnish. Acrylic glass diffuser panel, satin-finished on one side. Push switch integrated in base, variably dimmable with memory function. Black felt gliders. Cable length 2 m.

Since then, he has been designing products in various disciplines, from furniture to lamps, porcelain and glass. In his design approach, Christian Haas combines simplicity and elegance. His sense for aesthetics is characterized by a harmony of sobriety, usefulness, emotionality, durability and uniqueness. With his studio, the industrial designer works for international brands such as Rosenthal, Arita2016 and Tecta, as well as for selected design galleries. Over the course of the years, Christian Haas’ work has been honoured with several awards, such as the Red Dot Design Award and the Elle Decoration International Design Award. His most remarkable work includes the Ropes edition of lamps, which is part of the permanent collection of the Vitra Design Museum. The comprehensive furniture series for the Japanese manufacturer Karimoku New Standard and some of the most successful series of dishes, among others for Villeroy & Boch, can be added to his success. Christian Haas lives and works in Porto, Portugal.
MANUFACTURER
CLASSICON
Good furniture is like a good friend: somebody we like to have around and who accompanies us through life, wherever it may take us. We have been producing this kind of furniture since 1990. At the time, ClassiCon emerged from the traditional Vereinigte Werkstätten in Munich.
The licenses for the designs by famous designers of classic modernism, including Eileen Gray, Eckart Muthesius and Otto Blümel, formed the cornerstone for today’s collection. Soon, furniture by contemporary designers such as Sebastian Herkner, Neri & Hu, Konstantin Grcic and Jader Almeida followed. From the beginning, ClassiCon intentionally created a suspenseful relationship between classics and contemporary design. Owner Oliver Holy has had a lasting impact on the family-run company with his passion for design, architecture and art for almost 20 years now. Since mid-2024, he and CEO Timotheus Günak have been jointly managing ClassiCon.
Design, function and quality at the highest level plus a good amount of emotion – this is our vision: furniture design that convinces and accompanies people through their lives, something reliable and beautiful that is used and appreciated and, in the best case, passed down.
How much spirit of departure does a piece of furniture contain? At ClassiCon, you will only find innovative furniture that expresses the courage to depart from familiar ground. Some of the pieces carry big names, and each can look back on a proud design history, sometimes over several decades or even an entire century. Others, however, are only at the beginning of writing their own big stories.
We consider it our task to accompany and enable a multitude of such stories – now and in the future. For this purpose, we are continuously expanding our partner network and engage in intensive dialogs with international designers, often young and unknown.
Local craft businesses that bring design ideas to life through their skills and expertise play an equally important role for us. Through our production methods, we aim to bring this craftsmanship and wealth of experience to light and secure it for the future.
Designs from the ClassiCon collection can be found in museum collections around the world. Rare and precious originals by Eileen Gray, for example, are owned by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the National Museum of Ireland and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In the meantime, designs by our contemporary designers have found a place in collections: classics of the future are exhibited or archived in various contexts. They represent formal innovation, originality and quality. With each selection, we are delighted about the success of the designers and the confirmation of our work.
