Minimalissimo


Taiwanese design studio QisDesign have created the Coral Reef Light. The chic and elegant LED light has been produced as a silver-coloured table lamp and a metallic floor lamp, both composed of aluminium alloys and polycarbonate. Inspired by the natural theme of the coral reef, the light is a collaborative project with Taiwan’s National Museum of Marine Biology & Aquarium (NMMBA).

Activated by a touch dimmer on the side, the Coral Reef table lamp features an adjustable lighting platform enabling users to simply change the lighting angle.

The floor lamp however, features three overlapping lighting layers, each of which can be activated independently by being swivelled. This cleverly symbolises an ever-changing natural light movement of which the design is based.

  1. This is a collection of very complex lamps if you ask me. Nothing to do with minimalism, maybe some “2011 futurism”, like a spaceship from a kids cartoon?

  2. I think it’s perhaps minimalist from an aesthetic perspective, not so much from a functional one, although the touch dimmer could be defined as that.
