Designed by Nendo, the light consists of two independent cylinders placed against each other in a striking perpendicular direction; one acting as a light and the other as a supportive base. The cylinder shape can be moved and angled at 25, 40 and 60 degrees, providing a channelled spotlight that can elegantly illuminate a space, whether shone on a piece of stunning wall art or a corner of connecting walls. Available in four different colour choices, the Sawaru can perfectly coordinate with an array of interior spaces, whilst still maintaining a striking, graphic profile.
Behind the Nendo trademark is Oki Sato, the Japanese designer born in Canada in 1977. Sato graduated in 2000 from Tokyo's Waseda University and went on to specialise in Architecture (2002). While still a student, in 2002, he won the Gold Medal at the Koizumi International Lighting Design show, in addition to many other awards.
Oki Sato founded Nendo Design Studio in 2002 and has since gone on to product contemporary designs for Cappellini, Foscarini, Wastberg and Louis Poulsen.
