A disc of pure light, attached to a thin line – who’d guess that an object so geometrically simple could be so versatile, so adaptable to different situations? With its imaginative approach, innovative materials and sophisticated mechanics, w182 Pastille not only offers high-end performance at a mid-range price – it rethinks the way we relate to the light around us.

By fluidly rotating upwards, downwards, and around its own axis, w182 Pastille freely articulates surfaces to create soft, diffused light as well as gentle yet clear definition.

The warm tactility of w182 Pastille comes from its renewable and recyclable high-performance material – a biopolyamide based on over 60% biologically sourced material from the castor plant.

Thanks to a perfect balance between a COB LED light source, a large reflector and a generous concave diffuser, w182 Pastille provides a spread of warm, soft illumination. The smooth dimming is controlled with a touch of the button on top of the vertical pole.

w182 Pastille is adaptable to a variety of spatial conditions while taking up minimal space. In addition to the classic desk model, a wide range of mounting options allow it to be clamped to a desk or shelf, attached to a wall, placed on a floor, or integrated into a desk or wall surface with no visible cable.

Every detail has been given careful thought and is crafted with great precision – from the overmoulded metal parts and ultrasonic welding, to the dimmer button on the top of the vertical pole. 

The floor stand in steel features a high-gloss powder-coated finish, as a contrast to the matte bio-polyamide lamp. The cord is integrated into the floor stand. 

Designed to recreate the full, uninterrupted colour spectrum of sunlight, full-spectrum light has a rich, profound quality that is impossible to achieve with the limited spectrum of a standard LED. Full-spectrum light also offers superior colour rendering, making it an ideal choice for environments where correct colour perception is a vital aspect.
