Factor Light was developed with flexibility in mind.
Featuring a tubular design with a rotatable core element that can be positioned to provide 360° of infinite movement, Factor enables users to create a personalised lit environment with either direct or indirect light. Made from extruded aluminium with an integrated LED light source, the lamp consists of a main element that can be used alone or assembled with others thanks to bridge connectors. It comes in black wet sprayed and clear anodised finishes.
DB20 echoes Factor in many ways by contrasts or similarities.
Playing with light and shadow, the porcelain tableware, the design of which is based on a strict grid, blurs the line between two and three-dimensional patterns. The pieces, glazed on the inside, are left raw on the outside, leaving the reliefs to appear in a very precise way while giving the objects a particularly soft touch. Two new pieces are presented on the occasion of the 2023 Swiss Design Awards, bringing the collection to seven pieces in total.
