Kantili is a torchiere type floor led lamp. The inspiration for this light came from the Greek folklore and traditional culture. We were inspired by the Greek church object ‘thimiato- kantili’.The tradition to light this folk object has survived from ancient sacred times.

The aim was to create a light that gives a relaxing feel and a sense of well being. It points the light up at the ceiling and at the surrounded walls. The light diffusing through the cross tap creates shadows with the cross at the ceiling but also bounces of it to provide a diffused general light.

The lamp is constructed by a double glass wall tube. The internal organic plane of glass has the features of a magnifying lens with a wide diffuse of light. The metal disc is made by anodised aluminium. The lamp alternatively can be made by recycled large oil bottles.
