The Tri Lamp will create new furnishing and decoration opportunities with the help of light. Even the tree functions as a charging station that charges each light bulb, or “fruits”. The light can be picked up and moved around. Each “fruit” can be used to create atmosphere, be carried over to a sofa, if you wish to read, or it can be used as a torch.

The jury’s verdict:
TRI uses the opportunities provided by LED technology in a new and exciting way and challenges conventional lighting. The lamp has a sculptural form. Being able to pick the “fruits” and take a light source with you is a new concept that evokes strong emotional associations. The “fruits” allow for flexible lighting solutions and many decorative possibilities. The tree’s shape draws nature into the room, creating a friendly atmosphere. Tri is therefore highly suitable for use in public buildings. The concept provides many opportunities for scalability, and for the development of additional products. It is not just “another lamp”.
