Created by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, Tab F is a floor lamp providing direct lighting. The head is adjustable thanks to a small handle on the top of the lamp that prevents burning. The head, gaskets and base of Tab F are made of die-cast aluminium, while the reflector is made of porcelain. Its simple and modern lines make it a perfect reading light in the living room or bedroom. Produced by Flos, the TAB T lamp is available in black and white.
Born in Shrewsbury and Oxford respectively in 1969, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby studied architecture and interior design together at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1996, they set up their own agency, Barber Osgerby. The duo work at the crossroads between industrial design, furniture design and architecture. Their first design, the Loop Table, was spotted by Giulio Cappellini at the 1996 Milan Motor Show. The latter struck up a friendship with the designers, and together they developed a series of products that are now internationally recognised. Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby have won numerous awards, including Best New Designer at the ICFF Editors Awards in 1998, the Good Design Award for the Tab T table lamp published by Flos in 2010, and Design of the Year 2012 for 'The London Olympic Torch'. They fold materials and like to play with colours. Their work is inspired by existing production techniques, using them in "more original and intelligent" ways. They have worked with leading brands such as Magis (Poppins umbrella stand), Vitra, Established&Sons and Cappellini. Their creations can be found in the permanent collections of museums around the world (MoMa in New York, Victoria & Albert Museum in London, etc.).
