In 2014, architect Anne Holtrop began to study the Barbar temple ruins in Bahrain. They date back to 3000 BC and were dedicated to Enki, the Sumerian god of water and crafts. Holtrop made geometric shapes and cut-outs based on architectural elements of the temple. These inspired him to, among other things, make this table lamp. With the Barbar series, Holtrop seeks to point out the potential that ancient architecture has to create new forms.
