hand-crocheted or knitted fabric will cast beautiful shadows as a magical backdrop
for long, cosy summer nights. The Monsieur Tricot hanging and standing objects form
a complete family of lights – you can read their story below.
This user manual contains all the necessary information for a correct, efficient and
safe use of your lamp. We invite you to read this information carefully before

One variant of the Monsieur Tricot collection has been used as an example to explain
the instructions. It may be possible that your lamp looks slightly different.
THE STORY OF MONSIEUR TRICOT
Designer Ilia Eckardt grew up immersed in the Belgian fashion scene, his mother
Hilde Frunt knitting prototypes for Belgian fashion designers such as Raf Simons,
Ann Demeulemeester and Dries Van Noten. Fascinated by their world, Ilia worked on
several knitting projects of his own, experimenting with innovative knitting
techniques and materials.
Monsieur Tricot is his first creation, a family of in- and outdoor lighting objects, knitted
or hand-crocheted with an innovative, weatherproof yarn. The sphere shaped lights
give a warm glow and the different patterns cast beautiful shadows. The knitting and
crocheting is done in Belgium by a network of artisans and every item is checked by
Ilia and his mother.
As family is very important to the designer, he created his light objects as a family.
Meet the handsome Monsieur Lebonnet, the graceful Madame Latoque, the chic
Madame Cachet and their nephew Monsieur Ellipse.
