Sweden - Lighting

GA6 is the luminaire that has a very noble expression, where the combination of brass, mahogany and the structure of the textile hints at Gunnar Asplunds’ famous eye for details. The hardwood together with the polished brass creates a lasting expression, while the structure of the variable textile keeps challenging and draw the gaze to itself.

The luminaire consist of a spun aluminum shade, cut in an angle in order to follow the surface of the desk, and a bent steel tube. As in the case of GA4 the soft radiuses and the angle of the cut creates a distinct expression. Erik Gunnar Asplund.
