Façade is a monolithic, tabletop lamp distilled from polygons. In fact, Façade is so distilled that it has done away with the switch – or rather, it is the switch. From its resting position, Façade switches on with a simple flip. People can easily shift between task and ambient light by articulating the faceted body at different angles; it can also be mounted on shelves thanks to the embedded magnets. To recharge, simply swipe and slide one of the facets to reveal the hidden micro-USB charging port.
The beauty of Façade lies in the dialogue it shares with the objects on the tablescape. When not in use, it is an ornamental figure with a humble presence.
