Biography

IWJ is a product designer whose work focuses on enhancing the enjoyment of everyday objects.

Inga-Wera-Jane Heymann explores the rituals, gestures, and performance of daily life. Her studio blends functional art with design, producing work that ranges from collectible pieces to practical objects. Each creation thoughtfully reflects the relationship between people, their environments, and the materials they interact with.

Her lamps are entirely handmade and made to order. The painted structural frames are crafted by a local metal workshop, while Heymann weaves them by hand in her studio using Italian cotton thread. Available in a variety of sizes and styles—ranging from pendants to table lamps—each piece is unique. The lamps' angular, vase-like forms range from shallow, "flying saucer" shapes to more elongated lanterns, evoking a sense of both modernity and tradition.
Color particularly is in the moment.

I approach my lamp design like freestyle painting or drawing: once I start, the process flows naturally. What I love most about my lamps is their endless possibilities. By changing just the shape and color, you can create something classic or something bold and striking—all within the same production process.

At rest, my lamps are quiet art pieces that fit seamlessly into your home.
As light fills the room, my lamps shift from art objects to functional highlights, shaping the atmosphere.
