Beyond its eco-credentials, the Superdupertube is a feat of functional elegance. Featuring dimmable LED strips ensconced within twisted louvres, it offers both visual allure and practical illumination. This architectural detail not only softens the light but also enhances workspace comfort, making it a compelling choice for modern office environments. Available in four different lengths, each lamp boasts an organic beige hue infused with natural patterns from the hemp composite, adding a touch of individuality to every piece.
Recognizing that 70-80% of a luminaire’s climate impact occurs during the user phase, Snøhetta and ateljé Lyktan emphasised efficiency and incorporated smart lighting systems to reduce energy consumption and expand its lifetime.
The design and the well-engineered extruded profile have optimised easy assembly and disassembly by enabling components to slide in place without glues and minimal use of screws. This also makes it possible to easily replace parts, repair malfunctions, and update lighting technologies in the future.
At the heart of Superdupertube lies a testament to Snøhetta’s dedication to regenerative design and material innovation. This collaborative odyssey, initiated by architects, landscape architects, interior architects, and craftsmen, epitomises a holistic approach to sustainable product development. Hemp’s robust fibres and minimal environmental impact position it as an ideal material choice, reducing CO2 emissions by over 50% compared to conventional aluminium variants.
Moreover, the lamp’s colour temperature, influenced by the inherent variations in hemp crops, imbues each Superdupertube with a unique character. Emitting a warm glow through the PLA material, it invites a sense of organic warmth into the workspace. Assembled with precision and foresight, the lamp’s extruded profile ensures easy maintenance and future adaptability, underscoring its longevity and versatility.
Superdupertube not only reduces dependence on fossil raw materials but is also industrially compostable. This project pushes the norms around what an office lamp could look like and be made of and is meant to contribute to and encourage further advancement within sustainable and innovative materials and production technologies.
In conclusion, Superdupertube transcends the conventional boundaries of office lighting, offering a beacon of sustainability and innovation in an industry ripe for transformation. By prioritising collaboration, conscious material choices, and enduring design principles, Snøhetta and Ateljé Lyktan have crafted more than just a lamp; they’ve illuminated a path towards a greener, more enlightened future.
