Wall light from sustainable production
With AYNO – the first design of a new Midgard lamp since the 1950s – industrial designer Stefan Diez bridges the gap between the origin and the present of adjustable light. The collaboration between Midgard Licht and Stefan Diez manifests Midgard's inventive spirit. AYNO, radically reduced to the essentials, meets all requirements for design, technology, and sustainability.
The central feature of the AYNO luminaire family is a fiberglass rod, which is bent into an arc with the luminaire cable. The inherent tension of the rod creates a luminaire entirely without joints. By shifting the two adjustment rings on the bracket and head of the luminaire, the fiberglass rod is bent into the desired position, thus directing the light in the desired direction. The radius of the arc can be changed as desired by shifting the adjustment rings. Fine adjustment of the light is achieved by the swiveling lamp shade.
The minimalist construction allows for extremely low resource consumption: the primary materials used, steel, fiberglass, and ABS-PC, are fully recyclable – in fact, an AYNO is already made mainly from recycled materials (steel and plastic).
The AYNO is designed for longevity: it can be repaired by the user without tools. Thanks to plug connections, the lamp head, the LED unit, or the transformer can be replaced by hand, which significantly extends the lamp's lifespan. The LED light source is replaceable without tools.
The AYNO is the winner of the German Sustainability Award Design 2021.
