In-Tensions glow on the wall

Jelmer Nijp
A glimpse into my world of custom light. One year after my first Dutch Design Week, I return with new work, new forms, new ideas, same obsession, lighting!

Fresh Off the Bench

This year, DDW is where some of my newest work sees the light for the very first time. These pieces have been in development for months, and I couldn't be more excited to finally share them

In-Tention

In Tension is a stainless steel floor lamp that is held in tension by a single stainless steel wire that, while structural, also acts as an interactive touch sensor, transforming the moment of contact into illumination. Allowing the user to adjust the intensity of the light. The orange hand-blown glass shade emits a soft, diffused glow, illuminating the room.

Come See It in Person

Visit me at the Westcord Hotel during DDW and take some time to wander through the exhibition. I'd love to talk with you about custom lighting for your home, hotel, or anywhere your imagination can dream up. I'll also be sharing the space with a wonderful group of fellow alumni of the academy.

Come to Dutch Design Week and make this project part of your visit.
