the perforated aluminum tube contains LED lights to provide illumination to the project at hand. modeled after architectural cranes, simple lines and clamps compose the rest of the piece, whose horizontal arm can be raised and lowered as well as rotated.

the lamps feature knurled detailing, in reference to orsjo’s history of manufacturing and metalwork.
