A sensuous object between lightness and solidity – Quarto is composed of simple geometries that are arranged in a certain tension towards one another but always well balanced at the same time.
Two simple shapes – a cuboid and a cylindrical disc – are combined to form an interesting lighting object. The cuboid is made out of solid wood or stone and serves as base of the lamp. The glass disc is mounted above one corner of the base and contains the light source.

Due to its archetypical shape, the lamp can stay upright or lay flat on the table. This concept is perfect for a portable solution. The body is big enough to contain a battery and without cable the lamp can be positioned even more freely.

Another possibility is to offer Quarto as a wall mounted version. With the disc aligned in different directions, it is a perfect lamp to illuminate hallways and staircases.
