Supersymmetry

Supersymmetry is a transformable lamp designed for homes that are also used as work spaces. The fixture changes from a vertical source of soft diffused light into a horizontal source of concentrated light for work, creation and close conversation. The change is made by splitting or joining the symmetrical parts of the lamp, which are held by magnetic retainers. A bottom-centered wire bracing system keeps the height stable in both positions, so the light level on the table stays even. Metal, acrylic and LED sources are used. The total height ranges from 550 to 1500 mm.

Time Lamp

Time Lamp is a table lamp with a timing function, shaped like a traditional hourglass. The lampshade is made of translucent acrylic with an optical grain and is joined by ultrasonic welding, so the light is spread evenly. Rotating the lampshade acts as the switch and selects a color temperature of 4200K or 3200K. A short touch of the button starts the timing mode, and a long touch keeps the light on. Gravity sensing and electronic slip rings let the shade turn without winding the wires. The design combines lighting with a reminder that time is passing.

Stoccolma

Stoccolma is a flexible wall lamp designed to move light where it is needed. The lamp is formed by two cables held in tension between four anchor points. Each cable combines a brass wire, which gives structure and carries current, with an elastic wire that allows sliding. A circular brass disc holding an LED runs along the cables and can be turned by hand through 360 degrees. Stoccolma can light a corner, serve as a reading light beside a bed or illuminate a table. The structure removes the need for a separate power cable.

The base is matt black, and the lens shaped reflector is aluminium with a satin bronze or satin gold finish, painted white inside. Components are made by die casting. The lamp is offered in two sizes, and the light can be adjusted with a dimmer.
