Ombre appears to be a multifaceted design, comprised of a compact base, a light source and an adjustable shade. Ask the designer about Ombre’s essentials and he’ll explain that there are only two: shadow and light. Like a dance between them, the light is projected upwards directly onto the shade, where it is softened and diffused. The shade captures the light in its contours and reflects it onto the surfaces surrounding it.

As the shade is titled to direct the light, the effects create subtle shadows around the lamp. The base and shade are crafted from steel and seamlessly powdercoated in matt black or beige. Although Ombre has subtle ways of directing and diffusing the light, its effect on the surroundings can have dramatic impact.
