For their architectural project, the inde/jacobs gallery building in Marfa Texas, Claesson Koivisto Rune in collaboration with Wästberg, designed a task light for Mr Vilis Inde’s gallery desk.
The small town of Marfa is best known as the home of artist Donald Judd and where he bought several buildings and turned them into permanent installations of minimalist art.
A lamp for an art gallery should do its job and not steal any attention. The w161 marfa Lamp, a LED task light, is made out of one piece of anodized or lacquered aluminium, folded three times. When seen from the side, the lamp is merely a thin line.
Minimal expression. Maximum efficiency in material, production, light and energy consumption.
Also available as a wall-mounted reading light.
