Story
Branches of a tree
Vekst is characterized by slender arms that grow like branches into the shape of the crown of a tree. The influence of nature is evident in the design language, and the arms are made of powder-coated steel.
Buds of etched opal glass
Each branch carries a bulb inside a sphere of etched opal glass, a detail reminiscent of newly developing shoots at the tip of a stem. The bud-like shades are lit by LED bulbs. Simon Legald designed Vekst in 2023, and the web of branches takes on a new expression depending on the angle from which it is admired.
