Good, functional reading light is nothing to be taken for granted. Not if the lamp is to be attractive, as well. This has been Knud Holscher’s critical ambition in developing a lamp series that combines optimal light with superb functionality. Azalea lives up to this with its simple appearance based on slim steel tubes, and its complex construction with several moulded parts. The lamp series is based on the wildflower’s strong but slender stem that supports the blossom as it sways in the wind.

Azalea table lamp is developed with the counterweight principle. That is, a carefully calculated construction in which the shade at one end balances from a thin arm that runs to a counterweight at the opposite end. The arms itself is mounted in a special ball joint, which enables the lamp to be adjusted 116 degrees in all directions. The light is regulated up and down by a handle mounted at the end of the shade mount.

Azalea’s light source is a powerful reflector bulb with effectively-controlled, downward illumination. At the bottom of the shade is a symmetrical reflector that captures the stray light from the reflector bulb and illuminates the shade without affecting the lamp’s efficiency.
