View InstagramCaterpillar Lamp
The Caterpillar lamp from @fabienroystudio This flexible shape memory light offers a fun way to orient a light source by twisting it at will. The user redefines for each use a new shape, thus becoming an actor in the aesthetics of the light.

In addition, it makes invisible the weighted base system, the power cable and the back of the led system.

View InstagramThe Wave Desk Lamp
Designed using simple dome geometry for its diffusers with the addition of a rather striking base, the Wave lamps base takes the form of a segmented wave symbolizing the unbalance that exists within pure balance. So how does it work? The Wave desk lamp utilizes a series of chambers that are filled to maintain its center ( Upright – Lights off). A slight tilt to either side of the Wave lamp would cause its interior to shift, thus triggering it to generate light dependant on the direction of the tilt. Once the balance is maintained at its center, the Wave light goes off, leaving behind a sight of wonder. Design by @pato.casa.official
View InstagramFoundation
Foundation is a light inspired by the brutalist architecture of Montréal, it’s construction methods, and how the character of materials shifts overtime. Made from a lightweight plaster and 5 identical powder-coated tubes, Foundation is a dramatic sculptural piece and brings a unique ambiance to a room. When the light is on, it casts downwards onto the bottom mass of plaster and reflects off the imperfect surfaces to disperse the light. The two plaster masses start as a single scored block. Breaking this block allows for each light to be unique. Foundation also takes advantage of the plaster's weight to make the assembly as simple as dropping the tubes into the base and aligning the top piece. The light is currently a prototype.
