Heimlicht is a symbiosis of a table and a lamp. The concept is an object that provides for a retreat and a place to work in public and domestic spaces. By combining a work surface with a light source a piece of furniture was created that can offer its user an optimally lit up work area. Furthermore it conveys a feeling of security through its formal appearance and the choice
of materials.
On the one hand the oversized lamp shade enables its user to cover the entire work surface and by doing so to conceal all the personal things that are on it. On the other hand the lamp shade can be used to create a space in which one can work without being disturbed. The counterbalance enables the user to move the lampshade in every position.
