This unusual LBM Corner Table Lamp is by Mexican industrial designer Moisés Hernández.
"Inspired by the innovative architecture of fellow Mexican Luis Barragán*, Moisés Hernández designed the LBM Corner Table Lamp to reflect his fascination with monolithic geometry, colour, light and shadows. Constructed from thin planes of vertical sheet steel at a 90-degree angle, the utilitarian simplicity of the shape results in visual lightness with a strong design, giving it an artistic quality that is equally appealing both when in use and switched off."
"The straight, folded structure can be positioned on the corner of any flat surface, using an integrated LED light with inline step dimmer to emit an ambient downlight that creates a subtle gradient effect with a unique, calming atmosphere."
The LBM Corner Table Lamp is an evolution of Hernández's earlier LBM Table Lamp, shown below. Both are in production by Hay.
*Pritzker Prize winner Luis Barragán was perhaps Mexico's best-known architect. Throughout his 20th century career, he flirted with Modernism, but eventually came to denounce functionalism in favor of "emotional architecture." You can get a good sense of Barragán's colorful work at the Barragan (sic) Foundation's website.
