Inspired by the conflict between the aesthetic and the ethical in Either/Or by Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or lamps are a mischievous yet austere lighting collection for nightstands, tables, and floors. In an age where we rely on objects designed to serve our every need without asking for anything in return – the lamps encourage deliberate and emotionally acute interactions between an individual and their source of light.
Touch Dimming
A user’s touch causes the light’s cradle to rock longingly back and forth while controlling the brightness through a touch sensitive dimmer, to “discover the second face behind the one you see.”
Gentle Light
Whether used in the home or the office, E/O lamp offers a warm, familiar ambiance and directed light with a clear yet gentle definition. With no visible light source to distract the eye, it allows its owner to fully enjoy the benefits of light.
