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!
Buddy 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.
The design is deceptively simple: a 12 x 12 x 100 cm rectangular box, with a diffuser grid of stiff card. There could hardly be a simpler solution without forsaking functionality. The series also includes Bud lamp, a square box, specially designed for low-energy light sources.
