30 DEGREES

Design by Johan Van Hengel

30 Degrees is a lightweight shade made of laminated oak

veneer. The seamless surface is achieved by aligning the ends

of semicircular veneer sheets at a 30-degree angle, so the

inside cone and internal angle always maintain a 30-degree

relationship. The layering of the conical veneer creates a

solid shade that is opaque, characterized by its harmonious

woodgrain pattern. Rich in tactility, the series express an

organic yet elegant aesthetic. 30 Degrees comes with

Cord Set.
