Prototype

The initial prototype was delivered late 2023 by About Space and makes use of a concrete base and frosted glass diffuser.

There will also be several diffuser styles available when the product goes on sale in early 2024.

Identify the gap

By making use of natural materials, I was able to fulfill a market not yet fully realised at About Space. Traditionally their designs used predominantly brass and aluminium, I wanted to take the design in a different direction while staying true to the brand.

oooo black

Personally I think I prefer the white design but with a different diffuser, maybe a clear glass, the black could pop.
