Presenting the 1987 zumtobel staff id-s – the synergy of postmodern simplicity and the poetry of indirect light.
one red button. One electrifying name in design history. That's all it takes to transform raw minimalism into pure atmospheric magic.
this revolutionary floor lamp marked ettore sottsass's return to pure, functional beauty after his groundbreaking period. Designed for the prestigious austrian manufacturer zumtobel staff, the id-s represents the perfect marriage of italian design philosophy with austrian engineering precision.
the lamp's genius lies in its sophisticated uplighting system. Rather than casting direct light, the id-s bathes your ceiling in a soft, uniform glow that transforms any space into a sanctuary of ambient illumination. The carefully engineered asymmetric reflector ensures even light distribution across large ceiling areas, while the tempered glass diffusers create a subtle luminous halo around the sculptural aluminum head.
this is more than lighting – it's atmospheric architecture. The id-s doesn't just illuminate, it transforms the very character of your interior with its timeless postmodern elegance.
