The Column Lamp translates the utilitarian strength of harbor bollards into an object of quiet sophistication - a study in how industrial heritage can inform intimate spaces. Its mushroom profile, rendered in precisely machined aluminum, creates a dialogue between maritime past and domestic present. Through three distinct brightness settings, it transforms illumination into considered atmosphere: from a bright 380 lumens for detailed work to a gentle evening glow, each level thoughtfully calibrated to extend battery life while serving distinct moments in our daily rhythm.
At its core, this is a lamp that understands the evolving nature of work. In the home office, it provides focused illumination for deep concentration, its three-stage dimming adapting from morning productivity to evening reflection. But as day transitions to night, it travels with equal grace to the dinner table or reading nook, its portable nature challenging the notion that good light must remain static.

Audo, formerly Menu, stands at the forefront of Copenhagen's design evolution. Their studio approaches familiar objects with an architect's precision, finding poetry in restraint and character in utility. The Column Lamp exemplifies their philosophy: that the everyday tools of living deserve the same thoughtful consideration as the spaces they inhabit.
