Amp Lamps

Inspired by a 1960’s radio, the Amp Lamps are a collection of fine glass and marble lights displaying a perfect balance between hard & soft, transparent & opaque.

The lamp comes in smoke, gold, and white; as a pendant and a table light. Amp is derived from the word “tube amplifier”; a piece of an old radio that inspired Simon Legald, the designer of this lamp, who was captivated by the way these little tubes light up.
This is clear in the design of Amp. There is something special about the round, transparent shape of a tube amplifier that I thought would translate nicely into a lamp. I opted for the same type of glass used for an hourglass, as the shape had to be curved and narrowed in. To counterbalance the delicacy of the glass, I used marble. I think that the two materials work well together.

The classic combination of marble and glass provides a certain elegance to the light, but at the same time preserves its modern character. The glow of the decorative lamp passes through the smoky glass shade, creating a nostalgic feeling. It is visible from all sides and can be used facing all directions.
The pendants come in 2 different sizes and can be applied either as a single lamp or a cluster of different sizes. The simple nature of the light allows for many different applications and can be used in any room or space. From a row of pendants on top of a dining table to a single lamp floating on top of a bed-side table, the lamp will blend in effortlessly with almost any kind of setting or style.
