'u-turn LED' by swiss industrial designer michel charlot for lighting company BELUX is a spotlight lamp presented at designers' saturday 2012
in langenthal, switzerland. the multi-purpose lantern features an adjustable beam that can be angled through the use of a magnetic ball joint.
the top can be easily changed and turned around by hand to utilize its full radius and flexibility. the collection features several products to allow the user
a complete range in household settings. from a clip which provides a distinct source for accent lighting to the traditional pendant, floor, wall and ceiling lamps,
this versatile product ensures that a playful interaction is created every time you turn on the source.

in its fourteenth edition, the designers' saturday biennial shut down six large factories in the swiss town of langenthal
to feature the spaces where products are actually manufactured and finalized. within these atmospheric production sites,
venues and exhibition zones were established, acting as a backdrop for the various projects on show.

DESIGNERS' SATURDAY 2012
design is a statement
november 3rd - 4th, 2012

the first designers’ saturday took place in langenthal in 1987. since then there have been 13 of these biennial occasions,
to provide support for the swiss design scene whilst giving it a publicity platform and stimulating its further development.

designers’ saturday happens at a place where design is actually created. designers’ saturday is not just a product show held on
characterless trade fair premises. instead it is a stage where authentic design skills are put on view at the atmospheric production sites
of the companies involved.

the event is an international meeting point for the design world. the presentations of numerous internationally known firms will be
accompanied by the cartes blanches of both national and international colleges of art and design.

  • the pendant and wall/ceiling units are probably the first ones done in LED that have made any sense to me.
