Tripod Hm8 Floor Lamp, Matt White By Hvidt & Mølgaard For &Tradition

A floor lamp built from lacquered steel, the Tripod strikes a delicate balance between the stark simplicity of its design and the softness injected by the curved edges of its base. For easy articulation and a more precise light, a swivel joint has been developed – a feature now seen across the entire Tripod range.Product MaterialLacquered aluminum, steel, lacquered brass, textile cord.Production ProcessThe shade is spun from a single piece of aluminum and attached to the base with a rotational joint.

The two formed an instant, close friendship, moving on to experience their first success as a design duo after entering and winning the 1943 Swedish Slöjdföreningen's competition.
