Seoul's Monocomplex design studio is back with "Pulley." In keeping with their minimalist design philosophy, the concept is elegant for its simplicity (liberally copyedited for clarity):
To human beings, light is the closest and the most important factor. But not everyone feels it and considers its value important.'Pulley' realizes the slight but important value of light using a crane structure that easily pulls heavy things. The thin frame and different pulley for each point of contact lets the current flow intersect between them.
This structure evokes a feeling of tension, as if the pulley is delivering a heavy thing to a high place.
The drawing-like lines of the stand are made of walnut; two-tone steel rollers at the endpoints guide a handsome crimson Teflon line. Monocomplex has struck a nice balance of color and form with their choice of materials, though I'd like to see the abat-jour itself a little higher off the ground and angled downward, i.e. as a reading lamp.
