The desk lamp is transformed into a light sculpture.
What was once steel and sheet metal is resurrected as a paraphrase of both the Anglepoise lamp of the 1930s and the rice lamps popularised in Sweden in the 1970s.
Alexander Lervik is fascinated by light in all its forms, not surprising given that he lives in a country where darkness dominates much of the year. Three years after graduating from Beckman's School of Design, he presents Bright Handle, a door handle that glows an idle green or a busy red. The Sense Light Swing fibre-optic light-up swing is equally playful and at the same time self-evident. With Rainbow, he builds a lampshade of 300 tiny LED lights integrated into the shade, while LED Light Bulb brings a new expression to the traditional incandescent bulb shape in the form of a small LED-lit 3D-printed ballerina inside. Experimentally exploring constantly on the border between the artistic and the commercial, AlexanderLervik has in both lighting and furniture design pushed the boundaries of what is possible.
