There are two common ways to diffuse light: project it through a diffuse material, or bounce it off of something. Ultrabounce is an exploration of the latter, relying only on the white paint on the underside of the shade to diffuse the light. The bulb projects light upwards towards the shade which it then bounces off of.

Using consistent bends, the forming of Ultrabounce is simple and it finds its visual expression through this straightforward tooling. The articulating shade offers unique possibilities for the bounced light.

The planar form of sheet metal proved appropriate in creating a strong yet delicately thin shade to bounce the light off of. The LED bulb is interchangable, not usually the case in diffused compact lighting solutions, in hopes to prolong the lamp’s lifespan.
