The Gru lamp is an adjustable table lamp that is self-powered by an imprinted circuit board, breaking the distinction 2D and 3D design.
The paper-thin minimalist lamp does not have any tangling or protruding wires, but is characterized by a total flatness that gives the lights the appearance that they are hovering autonomously. The LED lights and the components built in to the lamp means that a lighting pulse is self-provided to illuminate the lamp.
The Gru lamp, which literally translates to "crane" in Italian, is made from epoxy glass, giving the lamp a high resistance body to mechanical stress. The body of the lamp can be bent into various modular shapes, and despite the fragile-looking nature of the light, can be tilted so its head can face in different directions.
