Initio Arts & Design is specialized in collectible design and Eastern European contemporary art.

Initio Arts & Design invites the reader to step into Kim Moltzer’s world – a world where creativity knew no limit, where design and nature intertwined, and where every piece tells a story of innovation and artistry.

This book is a tribute to Kim Moltzer’s (1938-2015) remarkable talent and lasting influence. It highlights his most iconic creations, telling the story of a designer who continually redefined the boundaries of form and material.

From the modernism of the 1970s, to his very own magical realism of the 1980s, Moltzer crafted a body of work that blurred the line between function and fantasy. His oeuvre remains a source of inspiration for contemporary designers and collectors alike.

Eastern Lights is the first-ever publication focusing on Eastern European lamp designers and, notably, the debut publication of Initio Arts & Design. The 194-page, full-colour book in English unveils exciting, unusual, and often challenging careers of designers who have rarely, if ever, been discussed in design publications before.

Written by an international group of design experts from France, Hungary, the Czech Republic and France, Eastern Lights presents more than fifty lamp models, newly discovered vintage photos and captivating details about the life of 10 designers.
