Corner Light, Dadadum x Schaetti x Wohnrevue, 2021

A light for a corner. Concept for a corner light using flexible LED mounted on a spring steel strip that you screw to the corner of your room forming an arc. 

The light features a rotable fixture meaning it can be mounted in both directions to suit your room characteristics and allowing it to be delivered flat pack.

This concept was designed for “Die zündende Idee”, a project initiated collaboratively between Okro gallery, Schätti Leuchten and Wohnrevue magazine. Ten of us were invited to make a prototype from the same flexible LED kit provided by Schätti Leuchten. 

The ten projects are revealed monthly in Wohnrevue magazin and will be presented in a collective show at the Okro Gallery in Chur at the end of 2021.

Design Switzerland Matchbox: Industry Connect was developed in partnership with Medelhan – the Salone del Mobile spinoff and leading business design network, working among others with Kartell, Devon&Devon or Cappellini. The objectives of this new measure is to offer alternatives so that young studios can develop their international network and refine their pitching skills. The format of this initiative is unique for its anchoring in the market and its close connection to its key players.
