Story
Named for a night owl
Noctambule is the French word for a night owl, and the lamp changes with the hours. In daylight its transparent glass cylinders nearly vanish into the space around them. After dark, LED rings at the intersections of the modules light up and form luminous columns.
System and sculpture
The columns can grow from three modules to towering heights. Noctambule works as a system and as a sculpture, showing its true character only when lit, and it has received multiple design accolades.
