Hayden Martis’ minimalist lamp, Tension, is made of aluminum and has a simple and captivating design. The geometric shape consists of a cylinder as the base and a circle as the lamp. With the help of this simple shape, Hayden manages to create a sculptural lighting design that creates an atmosphere of tension.
