Booklght

As the name refers to, Booklght unites a bookshelf and a lamp in an honest and transparent way. Subtly merging two common functions. Booklght illustrates a different take on the HIDN design language. By implementing the HIDN approach as a natural part of the design process, the opportunity for integrating a lamp into a shelf was revealed to the designer. He found a hidden idea to add a new function. The result is a playful and distinctive design that leaves you with a moment of wonder.

Made from the same piece of metal, the additional material, that has been added to form the lampshade, is added at the right moment of the production phase to optimize the process. Also, with this combination of two products in one, there is only one production, one packaging and one transportation

The HIDN design language

   • Searching for hidden possibilities in material or processing to reveal a hidden part, function, shape, inspiration or design feature

   • A way to think outside the box, be innovative and unfold your creativity

   • Treasure hunting for the hidden gems and surprises

   • Design with a precycling approach; optimising material and process in an early stage

   • Getting more out of a product than initially thought

   • Adding obvious functionality, value or aesthetics to a design without adding obvious material

   • A responsible and considered take on minimalism

   • A naturally integrated step in your table of content when designing
