Anagram

Design by Sam Weller

Developed for HAY by British designer Sam Weller, Anagram

Table Lamp combines a strong personality with a robust

construction. Inspired by the idea of creating a nostalgic

yet functional lamp, Sam’s experiments with juxtaposing

perforated steel with sheet steel led him to explore different

lighting effects. The result is a generously curved, glossy

shade that sits atop two split anodised aluminium legs, with

the contrasting elements updating the familiar lamp typology

with an original and contemporary aesthetic. Anagram’s solid

presence and ambient downlight make it equally suitable as

a desktop-based lamp, or as a supplementary light source

placed on a sideboard or windowsill.

a product’s material selection and

function.
