A floor lamp, bedside lamp and reading lamp all in one, the Structures S7 is a versatile new lighting design by Structures available from Stardust. Founded by sailor turned designer Nicolas Pichelin,
Structures developed the fascinating and flexible LED lamp to have an
interchangeable head which can be rotated 360 degrees. This ultra
versatile lamp is being sold by Stardust Modern Design is one of our
green picks from New York Design Week this year. Nicolas Pichelin is a
nautical engineer (and a direct descendent of Jules Verne) with a great
sense of adventure who has proven himself as a competitive performance
sailor. Self-challenging, he circled the world in a maxi-catamaran in 63
days to satisfy a need to put his ideas into action. Since his
retirement from racing, he has turned to the challenge of solving
technically difficult art installations and holds several patents for
his innovative solutions. In the process, Pichelin designed the S7 LED
lamp and the company Structures to manufacture it as his first
commercial industrial design project.
Just like a snake, the S7
achieves its stability from a coil at its base, while the top half can
be extended, coiled and even intertwined. It is constructed in two parts
– a flexible body and a lamp head, that are connected via a patented
electromagnetic attachment system, so that they can be bent and shaped
as desired. The head contains 8 3W high efficiency LED lights,
which the body is made of composite materials ensuring power efficiency
as well as durability. We not only love the flexibility of choosing the
shape and the lamp head, but also how the lamp embodies the sleekness
of the LEDs.
How the S7 lamp operates: The S7 lamp has two parts – a body and the
lamp head – that are connected via a patented electromagnetic attachment
system, so that you can bend and shape it as you like. You'd like to
change a decor or need a different type of lighting for your office,
living room or bedroom? A patented, ultra-simple connection system lets
you change the lamp head, but also pivot it 360 degrees to obtain the
perfect lighting angle. Structures will soon bring out a collection of
lamp heads that can be changed at will, with a simple click of your S7
lamp. The S7 consists of a flexible structural tube that can be shaped
into the form desired by the user, who can continually modify the lamp’s
profile. Manufactured from composite materials, it will not alter or
age over time; it is the material of an abstract sculpture, which can
comfortably illuminate a 20 square-meter room, with five lighting
levels.
360° rotatable, adjustable height, sculptural standing lamp, reading
lamp or bedside lamp. 2700K, 8 LEDs, 24V 350mA.
