Flyte
is a levitating light. A shatterproof light bulb which hovers by magnetic levitation and is powered wirelessly through the air. There are no batteries and its low voltage LEDs makes it completely safe and harmless.
Each base is elegantly designed, crafted in Sweden from sustainable oak, ash and walnut.
The Light Bulb has been considered the most important invention since man-made fire but not so much has changed in design since Edison’s time 135 years ago.
We’d like to change this, so we’ve designed a new way to experience your light. One which is free from the constraints of gravity.
The hardware and electronics consist of an electro-magnetic base, sensors and a power adapter.
The starting point for the design was my fascination with lathed wooden balls and how the same shape in different sizes relates to each other.
Imagine the base and the shade as parts of wooden spheres; the part that is cut off from the shade is used as base only with a bigger diameter.
The name Oo comes from these two spheres, a small and a big circle.
Oo is a desk lamp made of solid wood mounted with a custom switch and a high power 5 watt LED.
The arm moves freely through the stem, which makes it possible to adjust the shade in height and angle.
