The Nul and Nul 5° lamps may look like something that would come from the Japanese or Chinese culture since they take on a lovely lantern-like aesthetic, but they were entirely inspired by Scandinavian design. In fact, they are made only from pure organic Scandinavian materials. Striking simplistic in a way that is at once traditional and modern, the light fixtures would add a clean rustic touch to homes as well as texture.
Designed by K-O-N-T-O, a studio based in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Nul and Nul 5° lamps are their first products. While one has a rectangular silhouette, the other angles out a bit for a little more dimension. Overall, both designs are beautifully sculptural, which many people will greatly appreciate.
