FAB 25 - THE ISM OBJECTS CLASSIC IS REBORN

We first designed the Fab Lamp in 1991 and now, twenty-six years later, we have revisited its iconic design to develop the Fab 25 - a lamp that is just as enduring as the original.

The original Fab lamp – a flat-pack self-assembled table lamp – was an immediate success. It won an ‘Artist & Industry’ award for design and production; retailed in the MoMA gift shop in New York; and Country Road commissioned an exclusive shade and stocked the lamp nationwide. It was designed to be easily transportable, appealing and suited to a new modern lifestyle.

Now, the Fab 25 lamp is even more so. Machined from aluminium and brass, with a perforated stainless steel mesh shade, it retains the elegant aesthetic, slimline shape and size and flat-pack gift box of the original lamp. But incorporating the latest technology – an LED lamp, cordless battery power and USB re-charging – the Fab 25 is now totally portable and even more modern and appealing.

A lot of research, testing and development has gone into the design and production of the new Fab 25 lamp, with each component has been selected and built into the lamp to ensure the technology is of the highest standard, but that it also fits with the original design and retains its classic Fab appeal.

The Fab lamp was the first light ISM Objects produced and it still speaks volumes about our design values of producing products that endure and endear.

To us there is nothing better than hearing stories from customers who, 25 years later, still love living with their Fab lamp. And we hope that the Fab 25 will appeal to those who love the original and a new generation who appreciate the freedom of a battery-powered lighting.

ISM OBJECTS LIGHT UP DENFAIR 2017

ISM Objects turned up the lights at this year’s Denfair with an inspiring showcase of new lighting, prototypes along with some fresh twists on some classic designs.

At last year’s Denfair, attendants were in awe of our inflatable prototype, Grapho Bubble when we showed it as a prototype. Since then we have been busily refining the design and this year we successfully presented the finished product. Made from Japanese rice paper, the Grapho Bubble appears to have a life of its own by inflating and deflating just like magic when turned on or off.

We also presented two new prototypes this year – the Teamwork pendant, which features innovative acoustic qualities that absorb sound, and the Snitch pendant, which is inspired by the iconic desktop gadget, Newton’s Cradle.

Some of our most celebrated designs also returned this year with new finishes and features. The Fab 25 table lamp presented with a finely perforated shade in stainless steel matte black and gold-plated finishes. The Loft, Luxe and Studio 6 designs also showcased in a new white powder-coated steel finish with satin nickel fittings. The cheeky Wink table lamp also returned with a portable, cordless design and a tropical pink finish – the perfect remedy for a Melbourne winter!

Stay tuned as we bring you more details of these new products in the coming weeks..
