LAMPOUNETTE

Tilt (France)

Location: Framwellgate Waterside

Paying homage to the iconic office desk lamp, but giant size…

An oversized version of a world-famous piece of home / office design gives the humble desk lamp the opportunity to conquer new spaces and illuminate the public realm with its strong coloured light. Lampounette will transform a dark area of Durham into a new warm living room.
