It's been called the Aeron of lamps and its controls have been compared with those on an iPod, but technology is only half of the story when it comes to the new Leaf Light. The other half is sustainability. The work of Yves Béhar for Herman Miller, the Leaf Light (2006) uses a biomorphic grid of LEDs to deliver a wide spectrum of light; from 2800 to 6000 Kelvin, to be exact, or in layman's terms, from a golden glow to pure white. The goal, says the designer, was to "allow the user to choose the intensity and color of light which best suits a functional need, mood or location." The Leaf's integrated microprocessor includes a dimmer, and the lamp remembers the user's settings each time it's turned on. Highly adjustable, the sculptural Leaf has two blades that independently rotate and pivot. The Leaf Light was designed according to Herman Miller's demanding Design for the Environment (DfE) protocol, which emphasizes sustainability and recyclable materials. The manufacturing of Leaf uses a stamping process which eliminates waste. Its LEDs use 40% less energy than compact fluorescent lights, and carry a lifespan up to 100,000 hours.

Today, that idea is no longer breaking news, but Béhar was one of the first to talk about the narrative content of form and the emotional connection between person and object. In the decade since, he has become one of the heroes of the design world by performing extraordinary feats of design that fuse poetry with technological innovation.
Through fuseproject, a San Francisco-based design and branding firm, Béhar has won international recognition for his work with Herman Miller, Toshiba, Nike, Microsoft and Mini Cooper. But the Swiss-Turkish designer views his role as something more than product development. "I believe design's purpose is not only to... Read more > |
