The Daphine is characterized by a minimalist design, yet despite its reduced dimensions aims to create the perfect light.
The Daphine can now be found in the permanent collections of major design and contemporary art museums, including the Brooklyn Museum and Judd Foundation in New York, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, Die Neue Sammlung in Munich and The Israel Museum in Jerusalem.

Daphine is composed of three basic elements: a slender articulated arm, a small adjustable diffuser and a transformer, which is deliberately unconcealed, on the base.
