About Silhouettes Lamp
Silhouettes is a table lamp designed for additional lighting in homes and at the workplace. The lamp is 500 mm high and is formed by metal elements of the same shape in different scales, following the nesting principle of matryoshka dolls. These elements can be moved to change the appearance of the lamp. The elements can also be aligned in one plane, so the lamp packs flat and needs less packaging, material and transport space. A sphere of frosted glass at the center holds an LED board. The lamp is made of a metal frame, frosted glass and a fabric wire.
