The Alge floor lamp is made up of three slightly curved, light stems of differing heights. The light stems can be rotated around their respective axes, thereby transforming the lighting ambient created by the lamp.

The flame-like light is radiated from the base of the lamp along the delicately treated interior of each stem.  The black casing creates a strong contrast to the warm golden interior of the stems.  The cool light from the additional spots on the top of the stems mark the presence of the lamp on the ceiling.  Due to its size the lamp becomes an active element, suggesting ones movement through the lighting ambient.  The elegant lighting effect created by the lamp is dually mysterious and vivid.
