Like a drop of jet-black ink falling onto a crisp white page, the bold silhouette of the Ink wall lamp creates strong contrasts. All parts have been coloured in matt black and arranged around an adjustable, concave shade that reflects light directly onto the wall. As light from the integrated LED module emanates beyond the shade’s rim, a subtle halo effect is created, resulting in a shimmering glow seldom seen in artificial lighting.

Fascinated by the subtle illumination cast by the moon’s reflection in the night sky, the designer decided to create a similar mood in the interior. As a result, Ink projects a uniquely diffuse light from behind its dark outlines, bringing a lustrous glow to the heart of the interior.
From his base in London, Swedish designer Felix Isidorsson creates a wide range of household products and practical accessories. But he doesn’t stop there; Felix also designs graphics and interiors, taking his interest in surface design and architecture into everyday environments. Felix believes that good design should build bridges between creativity and interaction, resulting in objects with the potential to improve how people live, work and socialise with each other. Felix says that the long, dark Nordic winters provide him with a source of inspiration, which motivates him to rethink the role that lighting can play in the interior. His first design for Northern is the Ink wall lamp, a flawless black disc that projects light over the wall to illuminate the room around it. Ink’s jet-black surface creates a uniquely diffuse light source that adds a shimmering glow to the interior.
