WUX
The lamp that grows with you
WUX is an innovative, height-adjustable desk lamp designed to evolve with the user from childhood to adulthood. A removable cardboard tube allows safe use and creative customization for children. The lamp's core sustainability lies in its long-life, reparable construction using standardized aluminum parts and simple connections, promoting maintenance and replacement over disposal, thus replacing multiple products over its life cycle.
