Kelly/pastperfekt: Lampen

•   pastperfekt  /pæstˈpɜrfɪkt/ :  the first of two actions, relevance in a previous time

Pastperfekt is a design duo based in Berlin. Our name isn’t meant to imply that our creations are ‘beyond’ perfect. Rather, it is indeed a silly play on words combining and describing a grammatical tense with the pieces we use as the foundation for each series.

We believe in giving new lives to objects that are no longer being used. The main element in each series comes from those old, discarded objects found anywhere and everywhere. We aim to transform them into something new and, in the process, use as much recycled material as possible. We work with a range of materials, from fabric and wood, to metal and glass, to create furniture, lamps, jewelry, and more unexplored potential.
