A rechargeable light module bestrides a wood post, and a quick-function twist collar allows you to position the module at any height along the post for just the right position.
We designed a flat tray that transforms the lamp into a side table, while offering a subdued light zone below it.
Nivél is a modular system that allows the customer to find the combination that best fits their space and style. A light module, a steel base for stability. The table model uses a small shade and short post. The floor model uses a larger shade and a taller post. The shades come in 6 different powder coated finishes. Posts are available in walnut or white oak. All bases are powder coated black.
