Just one year ago Magnus Wästberg startet his lighting company. At the Stockholm Furniture Fair he presents his first collection with names like Irvine, Massaud and Claesson Koivisto Rune.

Design by Ilse Crawford

The idea of the young businessman – as son of a lighting manufacturer he always thought about the nature of light – is to dim the general "Overlighting". "These days inner spaces very often are totally overlighted. It is not only a big waste of energy but it also takes away the contours. I think shadows are something beautiful." A minimal basic lighting with selective light sources at places where we actually need them – that is the starting point of Wästberg.
The outstanding drafts are presented as prototypes for now, but they will be in production in May.
