Pilu lamp by Leoni Werle
German designer Leoni Werle has created a bell-shaped lamp that can seesaw between upright and inclined.
The solid oak base of the Pilu lamp is v-shaped so it can be stood vertical or rocked forward so the powder-coated steel stem becomes angled.
A one-directional joint connects the bar to the the bell-shaped spun aluminium shade so it always points down regardless of the lamp's position.
Werle designed floor and table versions of the lamp, which was nominated for the [D3] Design Talents contest at imm cologne earlier this year.
She showed a giant lampshade and table that were combined to create a workspace at DMY Berlin back in 2010.
More moving lamps on Dezeen include one that's adjusted by rotating its pivoting shade and another that's dimmed using a spinning wing at its base. See all our stories about lamp design »
