A+A cooren is paris-based design studio distinguished by a simple japanese-nordic aesthetic that it has applied to useful everyday objects time and again. with ongoing research into the manufacturing process and this understanding of human interaction, the duo has turned their attention to LED lighting systems with the creation of ‘pokko’ for maison bensimon.

the minimal device is a small, easy-to-move table lamp that provides efficient amounts of brightness for interior spaces. the diffuser, in the shape of a thin and hollow semi-sphere, is mounted by a singular pole that is stabilized by a circular plate hovering above the surface it sits on. these components are finished in metal paint and are available in forest, white, aubergine, black, khaki, yellow, and mint.
