The DCW Editions SOUL Outdoor range is more than a collection of lights—it is an artistic expression of memory, resilience, and illumination. Designed by Charles Kalpakian, the lamp draws inspiration from his childhood in Lebanon, where play and exploration unfolded against the backdrop of a city in fragments. This formative experience gave rise to a design that captures both the fragility and strength of light in darkness.
SOUL evokes the sensation of entering a shadowed alley at dusk, only to be pierced by a surreal, unexpected ray of light. Its form and function merge seamlessly to create a striking outdoor presence that is as much about atmosphere as it is about visibility. In doing so, it transforms exterior spaces into places of reflection and reassurance, while also ensuring practical illumination.
Defined by clean lines and sculptural geometry, the SOUL range embodies Kalpakian’s distinctive design language—architectural yet emotive, structured yet alive with meaning. The lamp’s presence is understated yet commanding, making it equally suited for contemporary urban settings, private gardens, or transitional pathways where light is needed most.
Beyond its visual statement, the SOUL Outdoor range serves as a reminder of the power of design to tell stories and evoke emotions. It is a piece that doesn’t just light the night but also captures the imagination, linking past experiences with present-day living. As such, it stands not only as a source of light but also as a testament to resilience and the enduring beauty of human creativity.
