Lighting started with the discovery of fire. Long before electric light bulbs were invented, interiors were illuminated by candlelight, while blazing torches lit up the darkness outside. The cosy flickering of naked flames continues to appeal in modern times, as living light cannot be recreated by electricity alone. The Unplugged series was designed to revisit lighting’s early origins, and renew the appreciation of candlelight in public spaces and homes. Candlelight has a special place in the Nordic interior, where it flickers spontaneously to create a lively light source, or glows softly to generate a cosy mood. Each design in the Unplugged series takes part in the dialogue by combining subtle light levels with strong statements of style. Living lights can add focal points that heighten the ‘wow’ factor without using any electricity at all. The Unplugged series reflects the knowledge that living light can change the way people feel. Studies show that bright light can heighten intense emotions, while dim light enables us to be more rational, receptive and relaxed. Unplugged was created with this end of the spectrum in mind, providing mood-enhancing alternatives to electric lighting. From stylishly small tea lights to larger, multifunctional designs, the Unplugged series was established to present a range of indoor and outdoor styles, colours and shapes. Each design is a combination of tradition and innovation, unplugging lighting from the power grid to spark a new appreciation of living light.
