Trex Wall Scone is a lamp designed by Karim Rashid for lighting manufacturer Itre. “I wanted to get out of the square and cylindrical shapes,” says Karim Rashid about the design. The lamp has thermoformed acrylic and has a hexagonal white lacquered metal base. The shape allows several such lamps to be linked together for a truly unique look. When it is on, it appears to slowly pulse with gentle variations in light intensity. This is achieved by using two different types of zircline fluorescent lamps, one with 22 watts and one with 40 watts. The flat metal base is mounted on both the wall and the ceiling.
