Two Lights I Could Use in My Room
By Yoko Sakao Ohama on February 16, 2011
Two clever lamps, one from Sweden and one from Germany.
The Sketch Lamp, by Hommin in Stockholm, flips and swivels to transform into a lightbox. Perfect for drafting, but I imagine that the lamp could be maneuvered to light from any angle, which is great for photography, too. Also I am very attracted to the idea of a desk lamp that is as large as an A4 paper.
Dresden-based Dreipuls received a red dot design award last year for its Rima Desk Lamp, a track-lighting system where a strip of LEDs are activated as the user slides the ring-shaped “switches” from side to side. Too bad it’s still in its concept stages, but maybe while they’re still prototyping it, they can make a deluxe version that I will eventually install on the ceilings of my enormous apartment (also a concept yet to be realized).
