Creating a lamp that functions effectively as both directional and ambient lighting while sporting a robust, but elegant design. The lamp was designed to be eye-catching and modern, but not invasive. Made with simplicity, Helders silhouette features two main components: the base of the lamp and the arm. The arm attaches to the main body by a single axis and a track, allowing for both vertical sliding and 360° rotation.
