Famous French designer Pierre Charpin is expanding his collection of PC light
fittings with this architect’s lamp with its clamp base. It attaches to any
horizontal surface with a thickness of 5.5 cm maximum. You can easily fix the
lamp to a shelf, desk, table or a console… It took more than three years of
research for Pierre Charpin to develop the PC lamp. Very simple and visually
refined, it was complex to design and produce because it incorporates
cutting-edge technology. The arm and lampshade are articulated using a
sophisticated system of gas pistons, generally used to adjust the height of
office chairs. These high-tech joints provide perfect arm and lampshade
stability in any position with great precision. The handle on the lampshade
makes it easy to operate. The head of the PC lamp is equipped with a sensitive
dimmer with memory function that records the last level of brightness used.
A true quest for simplicity, PC’s restrained design fits in with all
environments. The various elements are made of different materials
(polycarbonate lampshade, aluminium arm, ABS base) but are visually united by a
monochrome colour. Designer Pierre Charpin explains: „I often talk about
sensuality in design. I wanted this lamp to be more sensual than technical, to
make the object less demonstrative and more user-friendly. At the time Hay was
developing its first lighting collection, we worked on the PC lamp project with
the common desire to offer a sophisticated, affordable product. As a designer,
I want to design objects that can easily cross the border between home, office,
public space, indoors and out. The PC lamp is a fine example of this limitless
vision of design. What interested me was to see the lamp as a presence, as part
of the domestic landscape. I wanted the object to be legible as a whole. In
French, I would say "a silhouette“.> Flash sale: special price for a
