ROPE TRICK DESIGN BY STEFAN DIEZ
ROPE TRICK DESIGN BY STEFAN DIEZ
Under the title ROPE TRICK we are currently working on a family of LED lamps for domestic and contract use. The first
offspring is an universal floor lamp, issued by the new Danish-British
label WRONG for HAY: a collaboration
between HAY from Copenhagen and Sebastian Wrong from London.
Big part of the Trick is an extruded and textile covered plastic
profile, which carries the LED head: moving
the head along the profile changes its orientation continuously. ROPE TRICK floor lamp serves as a reading light next to a
bed, a chair or a table. After sliding the head in its up-most position, the
light is casted upwards onto the wall or ceiling which creates an indirect
atmospheric illumination.
