Hanna Ehlers

Prototype

Like giant tops, there's a clumsy elegance to the way Hanna Ehlers' new designs lie on the floor at an angle, uplighting or downlighting as you choose. Available in brass or plexiglass (with a silver metallic or white finish) they were one of our favourite examples of a games-inspired trend that crept into design at this year's Salone. We're not sure if it's a reaction to the very serious mood elsewhere in the world, but as long as it continues to be this tastefully executed we'll play along.
