Do the right thing
Via, France
When the heat rises, tempers flare, and tensions escalate, the Do the right thing lamp pays vibrant homage to Spike Lee’s film of the same name.
Resembling an IV pole controlled by a silicone emergency stop switch, the lamp itself embodies a manifesto on the imperatives of energy efficiency.
Pro-industrial and symbolic in its aesthetics, techno-ethical in its function, the light is distilled through a portable lamp that is separate but connected by a simple cable, each part composing a system that is both radical and adaptable.
Thanks to a small hook at its end, the opaline and aluminum light bar can be used in a variety of ways: as a wall light, desk lamp, or pendant light. A mobile and conscious light.
