OOO Lamp by Vasiliy Butenko

Everyone needs a bit of sunshine in their lives. Kiev-based designer Vasiliy Butenko set himself the challenge of creating a lamp with as fewer parts as possible- something that would be easy to assemble and have a functional design. The result is bright yellow lamp made of two circular plates and two powerful neodymium magnets. Butenko described the three different angles the lamp can adopt: “In the horizontal position the lamp serves as a night-light; in vertical – as a decorative element, and in angle wise position it can be used for reading and writing.” Butenko has achieved his goal of a functional design, but he has also created something extremely simple in form- a single yellow circle- that immediately makes us smile and think of the sunshine.
