Altera Interactive Lamp

Altera

The delicate, fluid and almost translucent character of marble evokes water. While exploring this relationship, waterfall walls emerged as inspiration. Water shimmering over textured stone suggested light filtering through marble elements. Reflecting the human desire to touch nature, this idea evolved into a modern, tactile lighting design that goes beyond illumination, offering a dynamic and personal experience. With rotatable marble wings, users can shape both light and form by hand. The design combines thin cut marble for light diffusion, a brass structure and frosted Led diffusers.

Altera Interactive Lamp by Dilara Özbent was recognized as an outstanding example of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Altera Interactive Lamp was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Lighting Products and Fixtures Design in 2026. The A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design competition that recognizes superior design of chandeliers, pendant lights, wall sconces, table lamps, floor lamps, outdoor lights, recessed lights, track lights and more.
