Origin story
True to its 1970s space-age heritage, the first ERGO lamps came in popping colors and were made entirely from plastic. While retaining its characteristic design language, ERGO has grown into a premium piece of lighting design. The plastic materials have now given way for a 3-layered opalized glass core and a colored glass shade.

ERGO is a multi-layered pendant pairing comfortable downward lighting with ambient illumination. When lit, the core glows softly white, while the exterior glass shade adopts a pleasant warm aura. The darker the room is, the more magical the effect becomes.

Among the most noticeable improvements is the decision to replace the plastic shades with premium 3-layered opal glass in two different colours: grey and sand. Additionally, ERGO Table now features a luxurious stand in either walnut or oak
