About
A play of form and light.
The name says it: FORLUM is form and lume, an old word for light. It began with a simple question: what happens when light is given a form to live in? A base that stands. Forms that glow. Pieces that join them, in any order. Each form changes the light, and the light changes each form back. The answer became a language of shapes rather than a catalogue of products, one that keeps growing.
Form
Every piece is drawn from a single curve, turned around one axis. That one rule is why any piece can sit on any other, and why the whole family reads as one.
Light
The light runs as one line up the middle, so each form is lit from inside wherever it sits. Translucent walls carry the glow; solid pieces interrupt it, the way a column interrupts a window.
Shadow
A lamp is also the shadow it leaves. Ribs, waves and spirals on the surface throw fine lines by day and let the light through in stripes at night.
Change
Nothing is glued. Unscrew the top and every piece lifts off, so a lamp can grow, be rearranged or be handed on, piece by piece.
Designers
Credited by name.
Every lamp in the collection is designed by FORLUM Studio, and every product page says so. When you design your own, you are its designer: your lamp carries your name, on the page and, if you like, raised on the back of its base.
Made to order
Made for one person at a time.
Nothing waits on a shelf. Each lamp is made after it is ordered, from the exact design its owner chose, then assembled, checked and packed by hand. It takes a little longer. It means the lamp is yours from its first piece.
