The 'Link' is a flat lamp that directs light in an unexpected way in order to create illumination that's unlike anything see before. The 'Link' lamp has an arch design aesthetic that features a simple twist in the top middle portion that enables the OLEDs in the unit to shine line in several different directions. This helps to offer illumination in a more carefree manner rather than directing it towards a specific space or section of a room.
The 'Link' flat lamp is the design work of Rui Alexandre Antunes de Palma and features no buttons or switches to be operated. Instead, the 'Link' lamp is turned on and off with a simple touch to further enhance the simplistic nature of the home decor piece.
