Flex

Flex is a series of household lamps that includes two table lamps and one floor lamp. Each lamp is made of a solid wood light unit, a neodymium ball, a metal pole and a base. A magnetic connection joins the light unit to the stand and allows the light unit to be turned in any direction. The light unit can also be removed and fixed to other surfaces with magnetic accessories, so it can serve as a wall lamp. A touch sensor in the wooden housing sets three levels of brightness. The wood is coated with wax to keep its natural texture.

Xtension

Xtension is an adjustable lamp designed for homes and public spaces. The lamp extends from 1500 mm to 3000 mm and retracts again, while spherical latch points allow fixing to uneven surfaces. The body is made of aluminum and steel, and the rotating heads at both ends are in chromed or brushed steel. Three outer LED strips and an inner LED bar provide dimmable colour light, set through a mobile application over a Bluetooth connection. Xtension can serve as a ceiling light, a floor lamp, a dividing light or, in a cluster, a signal light.

5x5

The story about the 5x5 LED lamp comes together with the 5x5 chair introduced and awarded previous year. The chair's unique material characteristic required tiles’ dimensions of approximately 5x5 cm. Therefore the same dimensions were the starting point for the lamp. In order to avoid the direct form's repetition the 5x5 cm is applied in a form of rhombus, the main modular structure part of the lamp. Several lamps mounted together offer the possibility to create different lighting patterns like zig-zag, diagonal line, the shape of an arrow, or other shapes by using designer's own creativity.
