Years in development, the Helm lamp was driven by a simple question: how can a lighting effect feel so seamless, so unforced, that it could pass as a natural phenomenon?
Nestled inside the Helm is a labyrinth of LEDs and diffusers, combined meticulously to be entirely undetectable from the outside.
The power cables also serve as the suspension system. All details on the Helm light are silver-colored.
