Myth between glamor and abyss
Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson in 1926) is one of the most influential pop icons of the 20th century. As an archetypal sex symbol, glamorous film legend and tragic personality, she stands for timeless beauty, vulnerable femininity and the myth of Hollywood fame. Her impact extends far beyond her time – she is still an integral part of our visual culture today.
With style and a twinkle in the eye
The MARILYN light object picks up on this myth and translates it into the playful design language of the ODD BIRDS. A red kissing mouth and the striking blonde hairstyle quote the iconic appearance – charming, self-confident and with a wink. The blue eye shadow is inextricably linked to Andy Warhol’s famous Marilyn portrayals – and can be found here as a color-intensive glass element.
The pink stripes lend the object a cheerful liveliness and are reminiscent of the shocking pink dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in Howard Hawks’ 1953 film “Blondes Preferred”.
Bright appearance with style
Color accents in light blue, yellow and pink create a light, pastel effect that is reminiscent of freshness and spring. In combination with the warm white base color, a balanced, friendly color tone is created that radiates positive energy and lends the surroundings a gentle, inviting lightness.
A clear contrast: the red kissing mouth, which gives the object a humorous and unmistakable touch.
As a lighting object, MARILYN makes a confident statement in the garden, on the patio or indoors. When the light is switched on, it attracts attention with its natural, glamorous presence.
