The BLASTED KL1 is cut out of one single piece of wood to make as clean and simple a shape as possible. There is no cutting or gluing the wood together. The glass-blasted treatment of the wood is where the lamp takes its name from. Kai Linke was also thinking about what a flying branch would look like if it could be suspended in the air. He wanted to explore unexpected gravity. can wood find a balance where normally no balance exists? The result is an asymmetrical pendant lamp which functions equally well as a standing lamp.
