shoot the light on with massess’ bo light, a lamp reminiscent of an archers bow

with the idea of ‘deconstructed minimalism’, los angeles-based multi-disciplinary design studio massess has created the bo light. representing the philosophy of logic and simplicity, the materials were the ones who led the design process. in contrast to 3D printing and computer-aided design, the bo light represents an analytical approach to design — one that rediscovers the beauty that arises from a deep understanding of the limitation in materials and processes. the result is a lighting product that encapsulates not only form, but also physical forces.

the bo light by massess is reminiscent of an archers bow, where solid oak is tensioned by bronze braided wire that cleverly doubles as the light controls. touch to activate LED’s embedded into the oak to diffuse the light in a soft and warm way. the lamp is equal parts art sculpture and minimal lighting for the home – perfect as a standalone architectural statement or functional as a bedside lamp. another feature? it’s available in ebony or natural finished oak to satisfy any taste.
