Story
An evolution of the Tab lamp
Tab Floor evolves the Tab lamp that Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby designed in 2011. It is a tribute to essential design and inventive thinking.
Familiar forms, made differently
The designers wanted to challenge conventions and looked for smarter, more original ways to make familiar forms. Sharp lines and adjustability reinterpret a classic typology, set against a simple form with technical precision. It is part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
