FIFTY-FIFTY

Design by Sam Weller

Designed by Sam Weller and named Fifty Fifty after a

counterweight system that creates equilibrium between its

two parts, this lamp makes clear references to physics and

engineering. Configurable aluminium components minimise

the overall complexity of the design and manufacturing

process, transforming its joints and mechanisms into

distinctive design features that are consistent throughout the

entire series. The single cantilever arm is easy to tilt and pivot

with one hand, featuring a touch-sensitive dimmer switch.

The collection comprises table and floor lamps with weighted

bases in large and small sizes.

Copenhagen-based designer Sam Weller was born in Bath

(UK) in 1985. With a background in Industrial Design and

Engineering, he went on to study at the Royal College of Art

in London, graduating in 2012 with a Master of Arts in Design

Products. He later joined a small London-based workshop

space to begin cultivating his own ideas and developments,

and has lived and worked around the world in the UK, US

and Asia. Sam’s design work aims to be timeless and honest,

focusing on a pared-back aesthetic that reflects a product’s

material selection and function.
