Fold Lamp | Freshfiber, 2019

The cleverly designed Fold Lamp is a simple, characterful lamp built for versatility. It combines two lamps in one; a pendant and a table lamp, according to your needs. Thanks to the vast selection of uses, the role of the Fold Lamp can change when needed: Suspend it from the ceiling as a pendant light, turn the head as a spotlight, or place it casually on a shelf or table by placing the pendant on its metal foot. A versatile lamp that can be used alone or grouped together in a home, office, hotel or café environment.

The Fold Lamp was inspired by Matthijs’ affection to atmospheric illumination. He wanted to create a lamp that is adjustable to its surroundings, both practical and in functionality. A lamp that stands out for its flexibility and sculptural beauty, combining delicate design with state of the art technology with carefully chosen materials of the highest quality such as nylon and steel. The Fold Lamp features a base that allows the lampshade to rotate 360 degrees around the light source. The direction of the light can be controlled and its intensity amplified as preferred. This allows users to alter the kind of ambience that’s just right for their surroundings. The lamp creates two different types of light: one is a very strong direct light, which is highly functional. The other is indirect light that escapes between the overlapping layers of the fold, which is soft and ambient, emphasizing its elegant flowing layers. The Fold Lamp changes form depending on the rotation of the lampshade and the vantage point of the beholder. Practical, yet friendly and playful, the Fold Lamp beautifies any space looking for a contemporary touch.

The Fold Collection explores the fluent, dynamic movement of draped textile and its geometry. Influenced by structured garments and architectural lines, the flowing layers create a very simple, but intriguing silhouette with emphasis on structure, shape and form. The sculptural beauty of the Fold Lamp adds a touch of sophistication to the interior, but its functionality and ease of use will ensure that the Fold Lamp will become a significant addition to one’s home and do more than just look good.

The Fold Lamp is now available for purchase online via Freshfiber.

“The wonder of the piece is its versatility, giving multiple lives to the same piece. If you don’t like it on a bedside table, you can suspend it from the ceiling. In one way or another we will continue to use the lamp for a long time. I always think that any design should demonstrate both functionality and an appearance that allow it to become a significant addition to one’s home. Light is an essential element that can be a very impactful to our everyday lives and the Fold Lamp is an exemplary design that would undoubtedly be a welcome addition to your interior space. Freshfiber’s Fold Lamp goes from simple to magical and playful in one motion. That’s just beautiful.”
