Product description    

The floor lamp ICE CUBE in the form of a cube on a shaft and without any superfluous details appears light, clear and elegant. The main elements are narrow rectangular steel strips forming the shaft and a translucent satin- finish cube. The gleaming cube is clamped to the shaft enabling the height of the light cube to be adjusted freely. The foot is a square steel plate upon which the shaft is attached.

The developers of ICE CUBE tried a new approach during the design process. Only a few months ago, the Dulux T/E 57 Watt compact fluorescent lamp made by Osram was launched onto the market. Using a newly developed compact fluorescent lamp allows that the shape of the lamp`s crown to be reduced from the usual oblong form to that of a cube. A clever use of reflectors enables the use of only two lamps for direct and indirect lightening which resulted in an optimal light level while halving the energy costs compared to conventional standard lamps. The direct component provides efficient, low-loss illumination directly for the workstation, while the indirect component brightens up the room. The combination makes ICE CUBE especially suitable for group offices, home offices, reception areas or call centres.
