The underlying idea behind the development of this lamp was to reduce the use of materials without compromising the product’s main function – to cast a pleasant light, with the light source itself shielded from view. To minimise the environmental impact of on-site waste, instead of removing and discarding the cellular plastic when unwrapping a light fixture, the packaging itself becomes the fitting!
Bud is made of tough, heat-resistant, recyclable plastic. Thanks to the high quality of the materials used, the plastic transmits a pleasantly “warm” yet highly effective diffused light.
Bud is designed for low-energy light sources and is intended for suspension from the ceiling or for use on the floor like a glowing cube. The design is deceptively simple: a 25 x 25 cm square box with cord and lamp-holder. There could hardly be a simpler or more pared-down solution without forsaking functionality. The series also includes Buddy, a rectangular design to light up larger areas.
