The lamps come in 8 colors and are fitted with halogen reflector bulbs.---
Here is how the designers describe the W131 lamp:“A pendant lamp is a very old concept. While Wästberg is a very forward thinking, high technological lighting manufacturer. So when designing a new pendant lamp for Wästberg you want to bridge past with present. First, the w131 is small. Surprisingly small. Equipped with reflector halogen it gives good light. So the lamp is extremely versatile as to where to use.Second, it is tactile and friendly. Sand-cast recycled aluminium is both beautiful and environmentally sound. Any imperfections of the metal are with purpose. The textile cord adds softness. We will use this lamp both at home and for contract.”

The Swedish design partnership Claesson Koivisto Rune was founded in 1995 as an architectural office by three co-founders: Mårten Claesson (b. 1970, Sweden), Eero Koivisto (b. 1958, Sweden) and Ola Rune (b. 1963, Sweden). Over the years it became in a classic Scandinavian way, a multi-disciplinary office which means that they practice both architecture and design.The company’s work includes architecture, furniture, and interior and product design, for such clients as Asplund, Cappellini, David design, E&Y, Iittala, and Offecct.
"Being both designers and architects at the same time, we tend to look at design as always a part of a greater spatial context. This multidisciplinary approach is typical for the Scandinavian tradition and adds cross-inspiration to our work in both the small and the bigger scale." - Claesson Koivisto Rune about their design philosophy
