Collaborator Christopher Merchant began the design for the Fin lamp and sconce with the simplest possible parameters: the form would fill a rectangular space and use only straight lines to create detail. 

The triangular “space within a space” emerged directly from these parameters, and became the second focal point of the design, but the real magic comes from the contrast between “on” and “off”. When off, we perceive mainly a rectangular monolith and the simple linear graphic of the fins. When illuminated, the pieces become dimensional: the triangular graphic becomes the unmistakable focal point, and each fin reveals an ombré of color and shadow.

This is a plug-in style for easy movement between rooms and homes.
