Vertex is a concrete floor lamp that captures the essence of two architectural extremes: Jugendstil and Brutalism.
Its profile, material choice, and structural elements pay homage to Brutalism while embracing Jugendstil's upward-reaching form. Projecting light through a copper plate creates a subtle pattern inspired by Jugendstil's fascination with nature. This technique also adds a nostalgic touch to an era when copper was popular in both exterior and interior design. Vertex combines Jugendstil and light projection to emphasize its decorative character, where aesthetics are as important as functionality.
