Over thirty different lights have been set up in a room at an old skating pavilion in Stockholm to demonstrate the range of possible configurations.

The W132 group of components includes a circular base, two poles of different lengths and three different shades.

The shades can be used without light bulbs to make containers, flipped over to create uplighting or hung from the ceiling as pendant lamps.

Long and short poles fit into the circular bases, shades and each other to create different stand heights that can be adjusted using circular keys.
