wall light with distinct underlying simplicity, designed by Hamburg-based design duo
Eva Marguerre and Marcel Besau. Minimalism, theatricality and architecture illustrate
the essence of COLOUR by Norwegian designers Daniel Rybakken and Andreas
Engesvik. In its refined simplicity free of conventional aesthetics, the light COLOUR
expands the field of sculpture and light. With sculptural structure and accurate folds the

reading. The slim light diffuser in cylindrical form simply slides onto the linear stand. The

accommodating individual positioning for down lighting at desired points. An optional
marble foot adds a luxurious touch. Simplicity is the allure and strength of the SPAN
pendant light, also designed by Michael Raasch. Balanced from two suspension points,
the unique X-shaped extruded aluminium section is made exclusively for e15 and

environments.
