Lumen Objects

The brief

Lumen came to us with a material, hand-blown borosilicate glass, and a question: what should a desk light look like when it is switched off?

Our approach

We designed three lamps around a single ribbed column. Each refracts the bulb into soft bands across the desk. The identity borrows the same rhythm, with type set in repeating lines.

The outcome

The collection launched at a Milan design fair and sold out its first production run.
