Itre's Karim-Rashid-designed Trex lamp

By Rain Noe - March 23, 2010

It's new enough that at press time it wasn't yet up on their website, but that's the new Trex lamp designed by Karim Rashid for lighting distributor/manufacturer Itre. The roughly hexagonal Trex is made from acrylic heat-formed with a sort of three-way spine to give it contour, exaggerating both light and shadow across its surface.

The flat metal base mounts to both wall and ceiling, and several Trexes can be ganged up in "clusters and constellations of light." And interestingly enough, the lamp takes two different types of circline flourescent bulbs, one 22-watt and one 40-watt.
