The Swedish designer Jonas Wagell initially designed The Peek lamp as a floor lamp to accompany a sofa he did a few years ago. The design is simplistic. humble and somewhat quirky. He explains. I find that floor lamps are often big and quite dominant in interiors. I needed a lamp which was small and humble and simply popped up where you needed some light. The Peek lamp has a heavy base with a long slender stem and a shade. which gracefully peeks over The back of a sofa or armchair.
The shape and silhouette of The Peek table lamp is The same as a floor lamp. only The proportions have shrunk. Use The lamp as a reading light. as your new best friend on your desk or as The last thing you see before you close your eyes at night. The base has a concave top creating a bowl for essential stationery. earplugs. jewelry or other small items and The tip of The stem functions as a dimmer.
Jonas Wagell on The design: Although The form derives from a functional requirement I believe it's important that The lamp has personality and an expression. I strive to create simplistic objects and products that are intuitive and easy to understand. in essence. The Peek lamps only consist of three parts: base. stem and shade. The form is reduced to The necessities and The expression becomes iconic.
