Product description    
The main idea of my piece of work is to form an integrated whole of all necessary elements of the lamp by reducing it to a simple geometrical figure that relates to the form of the tube.

To guarantee high flexibility Mobilor offers the possibility to shift the light in all horizontal positions. It can be a ceiling light, a floor lamp or a table lamp for the office. Thus Mobilor is not only a lamp but a sophisticated design of lighting.

I used the "mobile - system", where all elements are in balance all the time. The corpus of the lamp is held on the top of the stand. If desired this can be rotated by hand. It is divided into tree different segments and each is able to move separately. The longest segment is the fluorescent tube with reflector. The part in the middle contains the electronic components and a weight for balance. The smallest segment is the counterweight, which generates the balance in the centre of gravity.
