Habitus loves looking to Norway

Why we love it: Martin Rygner`s LED lamp is inspired by the power of nature, as well as people`s playfulness and curiosity towards an object. The aluminum lampshade has a touch switch, and balances on a solid base that makes it impossible to tumble over.

Interacting Object

 

 

alt
Designed by: STIAN KORNTVED RUUD

Why we love it: The IO (interacting object) makes tangible the interaction between humans and computers in creative processes. The majority of digital instruments are manufactured in such way that they lose their tactile feeling. The IO is a wooden intermediary that improves the relationship between you and your computer.
