One by One-01 floor lamp

The sculptor Steve Lechot, from the Swiss Jura, is heavily influenced by Japanese culture and, as well as stone, also works with other materials such as parchment and light, as the first drafts of ONE BY ONE demonstrate. With 160 crushed layers for the standing lamp, Lechot has created an exciting interplay of light and shadow.
ONE BY ONE takes its name from the equilateral geometry of the layered paper. This is now replaced by polyester membrane which is rendered almost completely tear-free, durable and flame resistant. ONE BY ONE is therefore easy to clean and, compared to traditional paper lights, has an extremely long life span. ONE BY ONE shows that energy saving need not be at the expense of emotion: the energy-saving fluorescent lamp is controlled using the latest electronics and, depending on the version, can be continuously dimmed. The desired level of dimming can be easily saved in memory by double clicking the built-in switch and reprogrammed at any time. Thus ONE BY ONE fulfils many functions from the dimmed light sculpture right up to powerful room lighting.
The family of lights consists of a standing and floor lamp as well as three suspension versions. With its energy-saving lamps and perfect anti-glare properties, these lights are ideal not only for the dining room table but also for office workplaces. The suspension lights are available in two lengths and seven wattages with an additional XL version available towards the end of 2010. The light is particularly useful for rooms with high ceilings with dining or conference tables in them and also for reception desks.
