Design — Lieve Brandt

Every object is an argument made of parts. Here is SOLEN, taken apart on paper — each component and the one decision it represents.

SOLEN · part 01 — The anchor

  1. 01

    The anchor

    Concrete, 4.2 kg. Heavy enough that the lamp never follows your hand.

  2. 02

    The count

    Twenty-four detents. Light becomes a number you can remember.

  3. 03

    The line

    Solid brass, turned from bar. It will darken exactly where you touch it most.

  4. 04

    The joint

    Friction, not springs. Nothing to wear out, nothing to snap.

  5. 05

    The reach

    64 cm. Long enough to reach the middle of a table, short enough to stay intimate.

  6. 06

    The veil

    Acid-etched opal glass. You see light, never the source of it.
