How awkward! How quirky and slightly off!
We’re talking a floor lamp – from Anatomy Design in Johannesburg, South Africa, for Denmark’s Karakter – with a quirky anatomy. It is deliberately proportioned with a somewhat nervous balance. The design derived from wanting to illuminate two areas in close proximity: two sides of a sofa or both an armchair and a desk. It was crucial to the design to keep all elements as delicate as physics could possibly allow. The long arms create a contradictory, almost nervous balance and the design language dictates a personality that can only be described as: awkward. Which is its name: Awkward.
Two design available: all black; all white. Finish: powdercoated steel. Construction Material: powdercoated steel.
ABOUT ANATOMY DESIGN
Anatomy Design is owned and run by Megan Hesse and Andrea Kleinloog. It was started in 2009, primarily as an interior design studio – the success of some of the product designs led to a need to house them (quite literally). And this was how the retail store began – growing from strength to strength. Both the Product and Interior sides of the studio have collected numerous awards – and continue to develop with new and exciting projects.
