Tangent table lamps arose from an experimental study with tubes and proportions and how these can be joined together. A clean graphical design where two steel tubes meet at their tangential point of contact. The small tube provides space for the electrics while the large tube functions as the lampshade. On top of the inner metal tube is a shade made of opal glass that covers the bulb creating a soft light when turned on and a visual effect of one cylindrical tube when turned off.
