Align
s lamp

Align is a minimalist lamp, whose design is based on a simple metal hemisphere.

The simplicity of the lamp is reflected in both form and function. The lamp can be used in different ways, because the power cord and suspension cable are separated from each other. The magnet allows you to direct the lamp and adapt it to different situations in your interior.

When hung, the Align functions as a pendant light above a table, in an open space, or as a reading lamp next to the couch. With the help of the silicone base, the lamp transforms into a beautiful table lamp. The power cord can be connected either to the ceiling or to a wall outlet.

Transparency of the production chain comes naturally to us.

For us, that doesn't just mean giving information about where something has been produced. Our chain starts much earlier: with the designer of the product!

We'll tell you the whole story. Click on the buttons to discover the different steps:

The Align lamp was designed by by Antje Pesel . Antje is a product designer based in Halle, Germany.

For this lamp, she devised a special way of hanging. The hemisphere is held by a small magnet, so that the shade can be rotated in any direction and the light source can be perfectly positioned. In addition, the set includes a small silicone table base, in which the lampshade can also be placed in all directions.

“As a designer, I’m fascinated by by the use of simple objects in everyday life.”

Antje Pesel

Align has been part of the Vij5 collection since 2017. We discovered Antje's work at a trade show in Frankfurt. Her designs always stayed in our memories but it didn’t came to a collaboration yet, until we discovered the genius Align lamp in her portfolio!

"The lamp is smart, simple and fascinating at the same time and always creates a moment of surprise when we demonstrate it to someone."

Arjan & Anieke

Through e-mail and video calls we managed to further analyze the prototypes together with Antje. The Align lamp has had a rather long development process. The seemingly simple lamp has a complex interior due to the combination of led and magnetism. In the end we fitted the lamp with a heavier magnet and a thicker lampshade which improved the functionality of the lamp. There is also a dimmer integrated in the lamp.

The Align lamp consists of several parts that are assembled at by Vij5 .

The lampshade is made with a technique called 'steel forcing'. The steel is magnetic, so the lamp can hang with the magnet.The hemisphere is then powder coated.

For the interior we need aluminium to conduct the heat from the LED disc, which is not magnetic. That's why there's an aluminum part mounted in the lamp with the LED parts on it.

The silicone base is made in a mould specially made for us. The magnet is also encased in a custom-made silicone sleeve.

A set of the Align lamp always includes a colored steel cable with magnetic suspension system and a silicone base.
