simon frambach: alumen desk lamp

alumen by simon frambach

alumen is the result of fundamentally rethinking a balanced arm lamps functionality. the use of the cable in the adjustment mechanics allows for a dismissal of additional springs and components, reducing the appearance of alumen to the utmost. one rotational spring (that functions as a rotation axis as well) keeps the whole construction in position, with the cable being pulled and serving a new purpose. leaving the lamp to be moved into even extreme positions, with just the slight of a hand.

due to the parallelogram structure, the reflector always stays in its horizontal position

abraded with a fine grit sandpaper, finished with furniture wax to create a pure surface

the cable is fixed at every angle

since there is just one spring, it can be readjusted with very little effort.
