Pholc Romb Mini table lamp, cumin

The Romb Mini table lamp by Pholc is dominated by a striking design language that is sure to catch the eye wherever the lamp is placed. However, the luminaire is actually much more detailed than it might look at first glance: its surface is adorned with a delicate, undulating texture that creates an interesting contrast to the preciseness of the lamp’s shape. Designers Mats Broberg and Johan Ridderstråle say they got the idea from ​ corrugated cardboard, which they often use when making architectural models.

The lamp emits an indirect glow both from its open-top as well as under its shade, the latter emphasizing the luminaire’s fascinating geometry. In geometry, Romb’s quadrilateral shape is called a rhombus, with all four sides measuring the same. The unusual shape gives Romb a striking presence but is, at the same time, a practical solution: the shape makes the luminaire slimmer, so it can fit on even a narrower shelf or windowsill. The portable table lamp is easy to move, and it can be placed anywhere: it finds its spot both indoors and outdoors and is an eye-catcher in both homes as well as in public spaces.

The strong shape and delicate texture also create a contrast that makes the Romb Mini table lamp almost sculptural – Romb is guaranteed to add a captivating touch to the décor even when the light is turned off.
