Minimalism, theatricality and architecture illustrate the essence of Colour by Norwegian designers Daniel Rybakken and Andreas Engesvik.
In its refined simplicity free of conventional aesthetics, the light Colour expands the field of sculpture and light. Open to individual compositions and leant against the wall, Colour consists of two slabs of coloured glass in pink and blue in combination with a circular form light diffuser in white. Inspired by natural changing light sceneries, Colour emits beautiful atmospheric light.
