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.
