Rope Trick comprises a range of modern materials, including an internal plastic skeleton, woven PET and Techflex for the light’s arm, moulded ABS for the base, and a specially designed aluminium LED module for dissipating heat.
The acrylic shade can slide along the neck of the light in a flexible way. This allows both up and down-diffused light to be directed to different places in a room, ranging from low-level ambient light to full functional brightness. The dimmer with memory adds to the sense that this design is at the vanguard of lighting technology.
