Superlight
NB Studio
A branding and communications studio wanted a light to fit into their new workplace.
Inspired by Dieter Rams’s speaker grilles for Braun, we created a light which is powder-coated to match Ram’s folded metal shelves for Vitsoe, and follows the secret colour.
“When Alex and Ray visited us to discuss our new studio, they listened intently, scribbled diligently, then they left. At our next meeting, they produced a beautiful scale model of a perfectly thought out design studio, and rather more timidly, a slightly wonky cardboard disk with holes punched through it. “This”, they said, “is your new lampshade inspired by the principles of your hero Dieter Rams. It will be used across the multitude of light fittings you’ll need”. ‘Wow!’ we said. We are honoured to have been the first recipients of Mowat & Company’s design, we love the Superlight.”
Many of our designs are developed to adapt existing techniques: Here are three other examples to look at.
