Sticklight

The Sticklight is one of our most enduring pieces and one of the few objects from that period of British design that has genuinely stood the test of time. Originally designed in 1994 and first produced by Eurolounge in 1997, it was made at the height of what people were calling the British pop design moment, a period when a generation of designers coming out of London were making work that felt genuinely new. The Sticklight is a nearly two-metre tall floor lamp rotationally moulded in low density polyethylene, housing a fluorescent tube within its tapering form. The material choice was deliberate: polyethylene gives the lamp a quality of light that glass or metal simply cannot achieve, the entire surface glowing from within as a single continuous form. It became an instant British classic and has been in almost continuous production since, re-engineered by Innermost a decade after its original launch with an updated LED specification, a new base system and an IP57 outdoor rating. The Sticklight is held in the permanent collection of M+ Museum in Hong Kong, and remains one of the clearest expressions of what we were trying to do in the 1990s.
