ABOUT THE PRODUCTS
THE EDGE
The concept of the floor lamp The Edge was to create a glowing, sculptural body, a lamp with indirect light distribution. The body is made of an aluminium composite panel that is usually used for facade claddings. Because of its particular material property, the material is used now in a new field of application, a lamps body. Milling and cutting the panels on one side the material can be folded into form within minutes. This trick (trans)forms a light, stiff and self supporting construction.
ARROW
The concept of the Arrow series is based on specifically triangulated surfaces, which create dynamic: a body is defined with distinctive architectural and plastical qualities, contrasting with its surrounding. A special form originates – to be used either as a single object or combined to a system. These various possibilities of use create multi-functionality and variability and are formally imagined in the dualism of edge and surface. Arrow brings tension into flora and garden life.
