From the same collection: In 2020 the "Nida" table lamp entered the collections of the French government's Mobilier National collections. 
In 2021, the French Embassy in the United States acquired the "Nida" floor lamp and the "Mini Nida". They are since on view at the Villa Albertine in New York. 
In 2023, Bordeaux Town Hall chose a « Mini Nida » as a present to honor the State visit to France of the British royal couple, King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

The NIDA lamp was inspired by a bee nest in its natural state. The lamp is composed of layers of a honeycomb structure made out of gilded aircraft aluminum. The honeycomb pattern creates a kinetic diffraction of light. The lamp base is composed of a curved, stainless steel tube that is balanced by two thin stainless steel rods that cross one another to imitate rays of sunlight piercing the ground. The entire lamp base is gilded in 24-karat gold for a timeless finish.
