What constitutes the perfect table lamp? For Menu, it is its ability to have an immediate visual impact and to tell a story, combined with a certain subtlety that gives it a key role in adding atmosphere of the room. It should be equipped with new technologies, while having an organic, natural dimension that conceals the technical elements and gives it a sculptural quality. The Column Table lamp successfully combines all these elements. Inspired by the mooring bollards on boats, the Column lamp combines technology and humour in the form of a mushroom with modern lines and a natural look. This very practical lamp exemplifies freedom: freedom as regards light intensity, thanks to the dimmer, but more importantly freedom of movement, because it runs on battery power. The Column Table lamp can be easily moved anywhere without the need for a cable. It will add a warm atmosphere to a living room, a restaurant table or a terrace.
The Norm Architects studio, founded by Kasper Rønn von Lotzbeck and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen in 2008, specialises in residential architecture, industrial design, photography and art direction. The essence of Norm Architects' work lies in the balance between richness and restraint, order and complexity, with a focus on quality, detail and sustainability. Located in Copenhagen, the traditions of Scandinavian design are respected, with an emphasis on traditional craftsmanship. The principles of timeless aesthetics and refinement through natural materials are also present in each of the group's creations. Their collection of purist, timeless objects includes the glass Kettle teapot and the Harbour armchair. This multidisciplinary studio is continuing its quest for the essential and minimalism by collaborating with Menu to create new iconic pieces. The two founders of Norm Architects share a passion for finding the exact point where nothing can be added or removed to improve the object. Together, they aspire to set new standards in Nordic design.
