Cling

Cling is a floor lamp by Robert Dabi. Emerging from the floor plate, the pole seamlessly wraps around a spotless LED ring made of a slim aluminium profile in a diameter of 55 cm. Within the area between pole and the frame holding the light ring, a flexible section is incorporated. This makes it possible to freely move or tilt the ring and thereby adapt the appearance of the lamp to its' surrounding. Robert constructed the lamp with stability in mind – heavy lower steel parts and top aluminium parts sum up to only 2,5 kg of weight.

Obj01

Obj01 is a table lamp made from a single sheet of raw metal, which can be steel, stainless steel or brass. The sheet is cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer, without welded joints. Simple geometric shapes form the lamp: a rectangle, a circle and a cylinder that holds the LED light source. The circle, once cut out, becomes the shade. The metal surface is polished by hand and sealed with wax. An integrated touch dimmer uses the conductive body, so touching any side switches the light and sets the brightness. The lamp measures 38 x 22 x 7 cm.

Vanke Cloud City

Vanke Cloud City is an architectural lighting design for a large mixed-use complex in Shenzhen. The lighting emphasizes the skyline and the four corners of the complex.

More than 97 percent of the fixtures are LED, and an intelligent control system adjusts the light by time and mode. During the main months of bird migration, the decorative lights are switched off at 10 pm.

Translucence

Translucence is a pendant light with a hand-blown glass shade and a hidden light source. The glass is blown into an optic mould, which forms thicker and thinner vertical sections that catch and spread the light. A laser-cut acrylic detail at the centre surrounds the LED module and adds focus. Three variations of the central section and three sizes are offered. Each shade is made by hand, so every piece is slightly different. Translucence can be used on its own or grouped within a larger chandelier.
