The Kuu Lamp is a playful light fixture that would easily be described as 'casual chic' in the fashion world. After all, the minimal designs are set apart with the use of drawstrings, something often associated with sportswear. Yet in general, the Kuu Lamp brings a stylish touch of texture to living spaces.
Created by Jenny Stefansdotter and Kerstin Sylwan of Swedish studio Design Stories in collaboration with One Nordic Furniture Company, the Kuu Lamp is made out of a light-shielding fabric that is structured but also organic. Available in black and white, the Kuu Lamp also comes two different sizes: small and medium. They are shipped flat and are assembled in a cinch, quite literally.
