Dezeen Showroom: Felix Pöttinger Design Studio has combined a sculptural form and portable illumination in its Topo table lamp, created for German lighting brand Maytoni.
The Topo portable lamp combines a simple cylindrical base with a tiltable, disc-shaped shade. Its translucent diffuser creates a sharp interplay of light, shadow and reflection on the form below and casts soft atmospheric light beyond.
Portability is essential to the design of the rechargeable lamp, which was intended to look good in a variety of spaces and settings, from bedsides to shelf corners and outdoor tables.
"Topo is about creating a dialogue between light, surface and space," said Pöttinger. "Rather than treating the lamp as an isolated object, I wanted its presence to change depending on where and how it is used."
Compact and versatile, Topo is available in a selection of four finishes with a mid-century feel: black, light blue, brown and polished metal.
It is one of two portable table lamps created by Felix Pöttinger Design Studio with Maytoni alongside the battery-powered Asym.
