Fox, Bernhard Osann

"As in nature, a minimal of energy and material can fulfil a function at its best." B.O.

FOX is the new #design by #bernhardosann for #nemo, a dimmable LED floor lamp with direct lighting and a steel matte black painted structure. Its slewing arc and its directable cylindric head allow to flexibly alter the light beam. Reduced to its most essential elements, FOX creates a graphic impression within a room and allows large movements to the user. The slewing arc takes into account that these days rooms are used much more flexibly: with one turn you can shift the light from the dining table to the couch.

Clear lines are a trait in all Osann’s works, the simple aesthetic exposes the true function and timeless essence of the object. FOX goes beyond illumination, it ranges somewhere between sculpture and tool:

“A lamp makes a statement in relation to the surrounding space also when switched off“, affirms the designer, who continues: “All my designs are dynamic, I playfully incorporate movement, flexibility and balance on different levels. I simplify the objects and reduce the material input to a minimum and hence expose these dynamics.”

FOX mixes minimal #design with innovative elements, the interaction between user and light source represents a key aspect and a relationship that goes beyond switching on and off.
