The Zero range needed a ceiling lamp with direct and indirect functional lighting, if possible in a timeless fashion
The inquiry went to Joel Karlsson at Krook & Tjäder design, and look!, the result was elegant with a great potential to be a classic.
The name is an abbreviation of Expander metal, an apparently simple material which has been refined in a surprising manner in this fitting.
XM has a shade in opal glass and expanded metal. Metal is painted white or black as standard. Copper is available on request. D 400 mm.
Design Joel Karlsson, Krook & Tjäder Design.
