Apex

Design by John Tree

In HAY’s new collaboration with John Tree, the British

designer offers his take on the classic Banker’s Light

typology, resulting in a functional lamp series that balances

familiarity with a contemporary expression.

Focusing on colour as a core element of the design, Apex’s

distinctive folded steel shade uses vibrant tones to create

a graphic contrast to the chrome-plated bases. Available in

several different models – the Clip Lamp, Desk Clip Lamp,

Desk Lamp, and Table Lamp – there is an Apex member that

caters to every space and situation, from a task light in a

workspace to an ambient lamp in the bedroom.
