spanish-born oslo-based designer daniel benito cortázar has created ‘snakkes’ in collaboration with northern lighting. the lamp whose name translates to ‘talk to you later’ in norwegian is a wall-mounted LED board that allows users to leave messages on its translucent surface using a wipe away marker.

the playful speech-bubble shaped object is made out of powder coated steel and acrylic and measures 30.7 x 36.4 x 6.8 cm in total.

‘snakkes’ was on show at the 2011 stockholm furniture fair.
