STEELI: A Minimalist Desk Lamp Designed by Danil Šcepanov

A Simple and Sustainable Lighting Solution

The creation of the STEELI desk lamp was inspired by the principles of democratic design, focusing on simplicity, sustainability, and functionality. Designed by Danil Šcepanov, this minimalist lamp offers a unique and innovative approach to lighting.

The STEELI desk lamp stands out for its simplicity and versatility. Made from a single sheet of bent metal, this lamp is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly sustainable. By using a flat, bendable, and solid material, the lamp can be packed and stored in a flat pack, reducing transportation and storage costs.

The lamp's unique properties lie in its design and functionality. With a static light flux, the STEELI lamp provides direct light to the work table, making it ideal for tasks that require focused illumination. Additionally, its simple yet elegant design allows it to blend seamlessly into any interior, whether at home or in public areas.

Unlike traditional desk lamps, the STEELI lamp is made without small, vulnerable, or adjustable parts, making it safe and durable. Its solid metal construction ensures longevity, while its minimalist design adds a touch of sophistication to any space.

The STEELI desk lamp is easy to use and operate. Simply unpack the involute from the box and follow the provided instructions to bend it into shape. The lamp is mobile and can be easily shifted from one side of the table to the other. By adjusting its position, you can control the strength and direction of the light, allowing for customized illumination.

Designed by Danil Šcepanov, the STEELI desk lamp was created in Vilnius, Lithuania. The project started in November 2015 and was completed in the first week of 2016. Since then, it has been exhibited in various galleries and design exhibitions, gaining recognition for its innovative design and sustainable approach.

The STEELI desk lamp is not only a practical lighting solution but also a testament to the power of minimalist design and sustainable materials. Its unique combination of simplicity, functionality, and sustainability makes it a standout piece for any interior.
