flat lighting by DMO

flat lighting by DMO



the concept behind flat lighting by korea-based design group DMO was to create a lamp
which appears as a simple graphic icon. light bulbs which are used in most lamps are not
present here, nor is there the space for them. instead, LED lights are hidden into a two
dimensional frame which looks like a standing lamp. the simple design leans against
the wall on an angle the user choses.


size of tall flat lighting is 400 x 1550 x 24 mm


flat lighting is available in plastic or wood








size of short flat lighting is 300 x 460 x 24 mm

Don't mean to be blassé but this has been done SO many times before, first time by a Dutch guy if I'm not mistaken.

Looks like they/he/she was playing with the old Game & Watch system when they thought of this. I like it, it'd be good if you needed a reading light and nothing else, really.

i think it's nice i like it.
to those who siad it'a been done design isnt about invention it's about innovation so ease up.
if you have nothing nice to say.....well you know how it goes

How is this innovative?
Am I missing info on some technical innovation or production method?

Literally, this cut-out lamp in this exact shape and material has been done before, more than once, outlined lamp shade and all, 5-6-7 years ago, commercially succesful.
I can't find the one that I have in mind, but a quick search gives me these.
