Japanese lighting design brand Ambientec creates sophisticated portable lamps where essential, poetic forms meet advanced and ultra-reliable technology for a new conception of the accent lamp as a work of functional art, and something to build a personal and sentimental relationship with. Something to carry with you from room to room in any situation. TURN+ is a contemporary and minimal lamp designed by Nao Tamura.

The lamp is a synthesis of high-tech lighting, carefully detailed artisanal craftsmanship, and fine materials. Nao Tamura was inspired by natural light and the gentle, familiar lines of classic lanterns in designing TURN+. She explains:

Light is a powerful symbol of vitality and hope, and TURN+ is intended to be a light that you keep close by, to keep you company through all the moods and moments of your life. A lamp that you light by gently touching it is one that can create a strong sensory and emotional bond.

Featuring an integrated touch sensor and two types of LED segments, a simple gesture is all it takes to adjust the light to one of four different gradations. It ranges from an intimate, candle-like glow to create a meditative atmosphere, to a more intense light ideal for gatherings and celebrations, to a restful light perfect for reading.

The exterior is made in aluminium, brass, or stainless steel, all extremely durable metals. The design offers a choice of solid glass for its diffuser. This material brings greater depth to the light by guaranteeing natural refraction, difficult to achieve with LED technology alone.

Rechargeable and portable, TURN+ provides up to 500 hours of light. It is also waterproof, meaning it can be used outdoors, on balconies, and in gardens.

Minimalissimo is founded on the kindness and support of Antonio Carusone and 27 others. If you enjoy what we’re doing, consider joining this group.
