Alexander Lervik Expands Castor Series with Floor and Table Lamp

Swedish designer Alexander Lervik has extended the Castor series for Noon Light with two new additions: a floor lamp and a table lamp.

The series, which also includes an earlier pendant version, is built around a reinterpretation of the classic cone-shaped shade.

Both the floor and table lamp share the same core concept: a tilting shade that allows the user to direct light precisely where it is needed.

A key focus in the design process was achieving visual harmony between the stand and the shade across all tilt positions.

The pendant version, introduced earlier, takes the cone shade a step further by integrating the suspension and power supply into the overall form. Available in three sizes — shades with diameters of 60, 40, and 20 centimetres — the pendant can be specified in any of 200 colours and configured with textile or rubber cable in matching or contrasting shades. The pre-assembled dimmable light engine supports standard connection and DALI. Suspension cables are available in brass, steel, or black lacquered metal.

Alexander Lervik

Alexander Lervik is fascinated by light in all its forms, not surprising given that he lives in a country where darkness dominates much of the year. Three years after graduating from Beckman’s School of Design, he presents Bright Handle, a door handle that glows an idle green or a busy red. The Sense Light Swing fibre-optic light-up swing is equally playful and at the same time self-evident. With Rainbow, he builds a lampshade of 300 tiny LED lights integrated into the shade, while LED Light Bulb brings a new expression to the traditional incandescent bulb shape in the form of a small LED-lit 3D-printed ballerina inside. Experimentally exploring constantly on the border between the artistic and the commercial, AlexanderLervik has in both lighting and furniture design pushed the boundaries of what is possible.

His light creations, the most extreme of which is MyBrain, a lamp 3D-printed from an MRI of his own brain, are represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, the Röhsska Museum in Gothenburg and several other places. Colour is a strong design element in all his designs, and by creating a new lighting company he wants to bring colour to an overly conservative lighting industry.

‘Surely we can be more playful in Scandinavian design and surely we need more colour in the design industry around the world! I am fully convinced that my artistic experiments make my commercial products even better.’
