The beam of light of this standing lamp traces a path through the air from the ground upwards, leaving behind a glow materialized by the base. The stainless steel, reflecting like a mirror, becomes elusive in itself, just like the light it carries. Due to its form, the lamp is strongly connected to the ground. In this way, the light gives the impression that it emerges from the earth, not from the sky as one would expect. The design of the lamp has its origin in the intriguing history of its light source. Although lamps with double fittings made their entrance in the 1890s, this specific variant gained popularity in the 1930s when German companies Osram and Radium introduced their 'Linestra' and 'Ralina' lamps. Bringing the glass-metal seals to the outer edges of the tube, allowing the filament to be extended to the ends, while creating a beautiful beam of light. Design by Davy Grosemans, crafted by Alton.
