Borderline between dark and light

A + A Cooren has created the lamp Borderline. Two shells – originally one black, one white – are joined to form a sharp borderline between dark and light. They’re bound by three velcro bands, leaving the shell edges free of metallic joints. When the lamp is on, the inner white shell diffuses a soft, comfortable light, while the indirect light emitted from the top gives the impression that the lamp is floating below the ceiling. The contrast of black ABS outside and opal white acrylic inside can be striking even when the light is off.
