14 DAY TRIAL // So we weren't the first ones who noticed how distinctly similar to an awesome skyscraper that lamp up there looks like, but we have enough sense to agree.
The LED lamp is actually segmented, allowing it to change shape. Each segment can bend between 0 and 90 degrees, and the lowest segment even spins 360 degrees about the vertical.
It definitely doesn't make one wonder why Artemide gave it the name of Paragon, even though it is a bit weird.
At least the thing got showcased at Milan Design Week 2013.
The product might do with some more polishing (literally) in order to more easily imitate cloud-skimming buildings.
"Like a miniature skyscraper when standing perpendicular, the 'Paragon' consists of four segments so that the lamp can be playfully bent at three joints to create a myriad of interesting geometric shapes; sometimes it can be made to look like a perched bird, at other times it resembles a rocket poised for launch. A lamp head fitted with the latest LED technology tops the vertical extrusion which acts as a paragon for all the other potential forms derived therefrom," said Daniel Libeskind.
