Almost a century after the initial design debate between light and sculpture began, &Tradition release Pivot, a portable lamp that explores the boundaries between form and function.
At the heart of Pivot’s design is the interplay between natural and manmade light. The lamp’s geometric shade is positioned at a 45-degree angle to the base, creating a soft diffusion that emulates the warm glow of a modern-day candle. The result is a beautiful light that exudes an inviting ambiance, transforming the mood of a milieu at the touch of a button.
Reminiscent of the minimalist art movement, Pivot is crafted from powder coated iron and mirror polished steel and comes available in two colour combinations: Blue Silver and Rusty Mint. While the cool-toned Blue Silver will look at home in most modern homes and professional spaces, the warmer-toned, Rusty Mint colourway is a worthy fit for those in search of a more expressive character.

The ambition is to forge new paths by balancing opposites — classic and modern, industrial and organic, sculptural and minimal, light and shade. Duality and contrast. Curiosity as a fundamental human condition.
The studio’s intuitive approach embodies designs that are distinctively shaped by the given circumstances, functional needs, and a fundamental interest in human behavior. It is a sense of and belief in slow aesthetic that centers quality and longevity.
