Designer Nigel Coates explores Greek mythology and the story of the nymph Daphne’s transformation to a laurel tree with this serene, nature-based piece. The Dafne Table Lamp from Slamp brings you a sense of calm and peace, just like Daphne felt when she became one with nature. This design’s thoughtful inspiration and sculptural qualities tell of the emphasis on artistry and acumen in Nigel Coates’s work. Coates brings you a contemporary take on an age-old story using the innovative material of Opalflex. This material bends elegantly and gives the light a soft-scattering quality. The image of the laurel tree is applied to Opalflex, presenting you with a flowing composition of stems and leaves. In two generous curves, the Opalflex is fitted together with a metal edge and sleek rivets for an up-to-date look. While charming with the lights off, this piece comes to life in all its organic beauty as an ambient glow filters out. The light enhances the beautiful image of the laurel tree.
