OHM(Ω)
About
Meditative - Cantilevered - Friendly; Three keywords that were used to conceptualize OHM, a user-friendly desk lamp that was designed to provide ambient light and accompany you during those late night studies. OHM’s silhouette is familiar but refreshed with modern lamination techniques and smooth transitional curves. It is crafted with maple veneer to evoke soft and warm tones. The headlamp is tiltable with a 60-degree arc to provide both direct and indirect illumination. The two-toned cool and warm brightness level is adjustable with the sliding switch on the body while the weighted base keeps this cantilevered lamp steady on any flat surface.
Challenge
