designer's own words:
KALIMERO lamp_
Kalimero – that´s the name of the brandnew lamp series, designed by kaschkasch.
The ligt series includes two tablelamps in different heights– completed by a floor lamp. The lamps have a minimalistic graphic look and are reduced to geometrical shapes.
Behind this simple and equally striking impression there is an innovative and smart idea... the lampshade sits on the bulb like a hat or an eggshell and through a magnet, which is located in the lightbulb, it is possible to pan the shade in nearly every direction.
That allows you to direct the light beam, which is functional and aesthetic at the same time. On the other hand there is an atmospheric light... you can pan the shade into a vertical position– if the lamp stands in front of a wall and the lampshade is moved to the wall, so it becomes an indirect and ambient light.
It is possible to dismantle Kalimero into its basic parts... so you can remove the lampshade anytime. The lampstand is a solid CNC machined steelcylinder and is removable placed on the tube. In this area the tube is bended so it is impossible to fall over.
Kalimero is made of steel and the surface is powdercoated.
The heights of the different lamps are 360mm, 500 mm and 1450mm.
