Tom Chung's double-ended Beam lamp for Muuto references car headlights

加拿大多伦多设计师 Tom Chung为设计品牌Muuto设计了一款灯，这款灯使用了阳极氧化铝材，其两端都可以发光。

这盏灯名为“Beam”，其可调节灯架可以从圆柱的两端发光，看起来如同一束光线穿过圆管。

由于这盏灯的双端设计和350度旋转的底座，使其可以摆放在任何位置。同时，设计师安装了手触调光开关刻度盘，因此有两种光源强度可以选择。

Light shines from both ends of this anodised-aluminium lamp, developed by Toronto-based designer Tom Chung for Danish brand Muuto.
Called Beam, the adjustable desk or shelf lamp shines light from two sources, one in each end of a cylinder shape, mimicking a single ray of light that travels through a round tube.
Thanks to its dual-ended design and 350-degree rotational base, the lamp can be set at a wide variety of positions. Meanwhile a clickable dimmer switch dial allows you to changes the intensity of both light sources to one of three settings.

Tom Chung告诉 Dezeen的记者：“两年前我在多伦多开设了自己的工作室，这是我设计的第一款产品。”

他继续说：“当时，我正在翻修我父母的家，在入口与起居室中的通高天花板之间，我设计了一个书架。”

“我们想把这两个空间都照亮，但是又不想在天花板上安装灯。那么为什么不设想这样一个光源，它既能够照亮较高的空间，也可以照亮较低的空间。”

他说：“与此同时我也想到了汽车的前灯，以及如何调节灯的亮度等一系列问题。这盏灯原来名为‘High Beam’。”

“所以你可以看到这盏灯的两个光源，并且它们可以随时切换，就像一道连续的光柱穿过圆柱体。”

"Two years ago I started my own studio in Toronto and this was the first product I designed," Tom Chung told Dezeen.
"I was renovating my parents house at the time and there was a bookshelf that I designed, positioned between the entryway and a double-height ceiling in the living room," he continued.
"We wanted to light both of these spaces without having to put pot lights in the ceiling. The idea stemmed from needing a two-way light that could light up into a high space and down into a lower space as well."
"At the same time I was also thinking of car headlights and how you can dim them. The original name for the light was High Beam," he said.
"So the idea was that you would have two light sources and you could actually switch between one and then the other while having the appearance that there is one continuous beam traveling through the cylinder."

Beam灯拥有有铝合金颜色、黑（深棕色）和绿色三种饰面，其表面的阳极氧化处理使其在圆柱形周围形成线性梯度。

Muuto设计品牌的设计主管Christian Grosen谈到：“我们在两年前的斯德哥尔摩家具博览会上遇到了Tom，那次展会有很多加拿大设计师参加。”

“我认为他的工作非常突出，于是决定在这个项目上进行合作。除此之外，我们还会在一起开发一些新的项目，后续的工作也会陆续让大家看到。”

The Beam lamp, which is available in aluminium, black, umber (a dark brown) and green finishes, features an anodised aluminium surface that creates a linear gradient around the cylinder shape of the design.
"We met Tom at Stockholm Furniture Fair two years ago, where there were a lot of Canadian designers," recalled Muuto design director Christian Grosen.
"I thought that his work stood out and we started to collaborate on this project. We're working on some new projects together also so you'll see more of his work in the future."

Beam灯于10月23日至27日在科隆举行的Orgatec家具博览会上展出。

哥本哈根设计品牌Muuto今年推出的其它项目还有一系列的地毯，这些地毯的设计让人感觉像脚下的鹅卵石。还有为大型开放式办公区内的私人空间而设计的高背沙发。

Beam is being presented at the Orgatec furniture fair in Cologne this week, from 23 to 27 October.
Other new products launched by the Copenhagen-based design brand this year include a collection of rugs which are designed to feel like pebbles underfoot, and a high-back sofa designed to create private spheres within large open-plan offices.
