Slant

Design by BRANCH

Slant is the result of a collaborative project between HAY

and BRANCH – a design team comprising Japanese Tsunao

Nagasaki together with graduates and students of Tama

Art University’s Department of Integrated Design, where he

used to teach. Inspired by the power of shapes and how

they impact their surroundings, the Slant Lamp features a

bold graphic aesthetic that takes possession of the space

it occupies. Comprising a simple, slanted cylindrical form

with a weighted base to keep the angle perfectly balanced,

all components are concealed within to retain the clean,

elemental silhouette. Slant’s sculptural design and functional,

directional light make it suitable for a variety of home and

office settings.

BRANCH is a creative unit that explores

the relationship between the world,

people and objects from the multiple

perspectives of art, science and design.

BRANCH is based in the Department of

Integrated Design at Tama Art University in

Japan.
