Sensual HALO Lamp Waits for a Gentle Human Touch to Turn On

August 30, 2015

HALO is an object that appeals to our most basic instincts. It has no visible controls such as a dimmer or a switch. Designed by Icelandic designer Kjartan Oskarsson, this sculptural, minimal lamp requires a gentle human touch to brighten up. Simply tug on one of the strings to light up a room.

HALO’s organic, sensual body is made from a handmade white oak ring with a leather strap and an LED light source. Pull right to gradually brighten the light and left to dim it.
