The lamp that’s de-light-ful

Following the lines of the highly interactive and endlessly entertaining Quetzal Chair is the Quetzal Lamp, a light that invites you to interact with it… almost like a fidget toy of sorts. The Quetzal Lamp takes inspiration from the South American Quetzal bird’s plumage. Just like in the chair, the lamp comes with dual-colored individual paper members that can be fanned out or inwards in either clockwise or anti-clockwise directions. The double colored members end up allowing you to dim the light when closed completely, and when opened out, cast a beautiful pattern of light against the walls and the floor.

The entire lamp comprises a simple base, two mounting rings, and a set of 30 dual-colored Arjowiggins heavy-weight textured paper fins. Easy to assemble, and delightful to interact with, the Quetzal Lamp is the kind that brightens not just the room, but your life too!
