One more notable debut at the lately-concluded London Style Festival was the exquisitely linear Apsis LED table lamp by British furniture and product designer Zak Stratfold. Apsis is comprised of a vertical laminated beach wood body, superbly bent at every single finish to accommodate a circular pivoting head and round, gently concave limestone base—which also doubles as a receptacle for modest things. A wood band which encircles the base permits the lamp to totally revolve, although the lamp’s head pivots by way of a range of angles up to 90 degrees. Stratfold, who developed Apsis in collaboration with Belgian wood veneer experts G. DesMet, has created a lamp that expresses a distinctly Nordic respect for craft and visual simplicity—an achievement which, we suspect, is not remotely as effortless as it looks.
