With his Forma design, Christian Haas interprets the 1940s/50s archetype of a classic desk lamp in solid wood. He reduced the original shape without trivialising it and thus created an unmistakable silhouette: the asymmetry of the base and the domed shade of glued solid wood stripes, make the design appear to have grown organically. The inherent warmth and sensuousness of the naturally grown material of which Forma is made, ash or walnut wood, lends the new luminaire its homely character. An almost invisible push button in the base guarantees easy operation. The large, slightly inclined shade with a satinised diffuser panel and a dimmable warm white LED ring provides pleasant, glare-free light. Forma is versatile and cuts a fine figure on a desk as well as on a sideboard, shelf or bedside table.
The body of this new interpretation of a classic desk lamp, with its sculptural, yet homely appearance, is milled entirely from solid wood.

Creating reduced, almost sober forms that, however, do not lack sensuality: Christian Haas succeeds in this art with his design. The German industrial designer became famous through his successful porcelain series, among others, and his Ropes edition of lamps is part of the permanent collection of the Vitra Design Museum.
