Who designed the Kettal Half Dome floor lamp?

Half Dome was designed by Naoto Fukasawa, the Japanese industrial designer known for his philosophy of unconscious, instinctive interaction between people and objects. Fukasawa has collaborated with some of the world's most rigorous design brands, and his work is held in permanent collections at institutions including MoMA New York.

Is the Half Dome lamp suitable for outdoor use?

Yes. Half Dome is engineered specifically for outdoor environments. Its construction in extruded thermo aluminum is chosen for weather resistance and structural stability, making it appropriate for terraces, gardens, and covered exterior spaces.

How does the Half Dome's sensor activation work?

A proximity sensor beneath the lamp head detects the movement of a hand passing underneath it, switching the light on or off without any physical contact. This gesture-based interaction is central to Fukasawa's design intent, reducing the lamp's controls to a single, intuitive human motion.

What finish options are available for the Half Dome?

Half Dome is offered in two painted finishes applied to the extruded thermo aluminum frame: bone and sand dune. Both tones reference natural, earthy palettes and are suited to a range of outdoor material contexts, from stone terraces to teak decking.

Can the Half Dome lamp head be repositioned?

Yes. The lamp head is adjustable, allowing the direction of light to be modified based on the needs of a specific space or moment. This flexibility makes it adaptable across different outdoor settings without compromising the lamp's overall visual restraint.
