HALO
A desk lamp for the hours after the daylight goes.
07:40
Morning. On the desk it is just an object.
HALOLoading the day
Most of the day it should look like nothing.
No shade, no visible bulb, no switch on the cable. A ring of opal glass on a column of machined aluminium.
01
Opal glass ring
Hand-blown, 6 mm thick. Lit from inside its edge, so the whole ring glows evenly.
02
Knurled base
The bottom 3 cm of the column is the dimmer. Turn it and the light warms as it fades.
03
Charcoal aluminium
Anodised, satin finish. Heavy enough that the cord never drags it.
