The ALU-T table lamp features a simple yet powerful design with an architectural appeal. It is constructed from a basic rectangular aluminium extrusion profile. To avoid visible weld seams, custom plastic connectors were developed, and inserted into the profiles, remaining out of sight. This results in clean, sharp profile connections. A thick steel plate is discreetly mounted at the base, hidden from view for stability. The straightforward construction allows for local production. Aluminium and steel are easily recyclable materials, supporting a circular lifecycle. The lamp uses dimmable LED strips, evenly diffusing light at the bottom through a louvred profile that prevents glare. Perforations at the top of the light profile create a soft, diffuse light. Its minimalist design makes the lamp versatile for various interiors. With its sculptural form, the lamp draws attention without being intrusive, creating a dialogue with its surroundings. Customers can personalize the lamp by choosing from a variety of available colours.
Bio
The startup of the Design Lab in 2021 is based on decades of experience, and aims for a wider range of ‘design assignments’, ranging from furniture, lighting, objects, utensils,…
While designing both existing techniques and digital tools are used.
There is a vivid interest in researching new techniques, materials, ergonomics, ecology, social and economic aspects in the designing process.
The development process looks for the essence of a design, for form, material, production and user-friendliness in dialogue with the various parties.
