The desk-lamp archetype, redefined.

Architect David Chipperfield set out to draw the archetype of the desk lamp — the one we all carry in memory — but pared back to the extreme. The guiding idea is the absence of any visible joint: no screws, no cables, no mechanism. A continuous pencil stroke, a functional sculpture that imposes a calm presence.

Material & Technique: The choice of solid brass or blackened steel is not cosmetic, it is structural. The lamp is heavy, stable, anchored. The head pivots on an invisible ball bearing, allowing fluid orientation with a simple touch. The light is treated to be warm and intimate, focused on the reading area.

Discover also the w227 Winkel, the w241 Faro and the w242 Pastille.

Living Materials:Available in Solid Brass or Blackened Steel, the lamp develops a patina over time, gaining character without ever being structurally altered.

Invisible Rotation:A head mounted on internal ball bearings, allowing smooth 140° orientation without any visible joints.

Stability & Anchoring:A heavy base that ensures perfect stability on the desk.

Touch Dimmer:Light intensity can be controlled directly from the base, allowing you to switch from a working light to a dim ambiance.

Warm Light (2700K):A soft color temperature, designed for reading comfort.
