Built upon the desire to provide state of the art lighting solutions, the Wastberg w127 Winkel Desk Lamp utilises a precisely engineered system within a refined design. Developed over three years, the desk lamp includes a sophisticated heat management system with built-in timer switches to ensure longevity and greater energy efficiency. Crafted from solid biopolyamide with an external power cord and micro-spring, the expertly constructed joint and arm accommodate versatility and stability while maintaining the pure and minimalistic form. The ultimate task light, the w127 Winkel was awarded a special mention at the 2015 German Design Awards in the Lighting category.
