r l o n studio’s lamps discover a new way to interact with lighting design objects

r l o n design studio from berlin creates objects and installations characterized by minimal aesthetics, playful interactions, and poetic motions. their L1 and L3 lamps discover a completely different approach to lighting design with their shapes and the new way of user’s interaction. 

the clear geometry of light and shadow

the L1 floor lamp — which is basically just a cane attached to the wall — can be turned on and off with just a single touch on any part of its surface. depending on the angle and orientation of the lamp, the range of illumination and shadow varies.

r l o n’s L3 is a table lamp controlled by a metal sphere placed on magnetic fields on the surface. representing the energy source of the system, the smooth and reflecting sphere invites us to play with it and feel the gravity towards the center of the light ring.

pure minimalism
