Compass Floor Lamp by Julien Renault
Compass Floor Lamp is French designer Julien Renault's newest addition to the Compass series, translating its distinctive conical silhouette from pendant to freestanding form for the first time. A curved, expandable arm suspends the shade overhead, creating an elegant arched silhouette that delivers pendant-like illumination without the need for a ceiling fixture – equally suited to a reading corner at home or a lounge in a shared space.
Its 360-degree rotating base and tiltable shade offer complete flexibility to direct light precisely where it's needed – angled over a chair, aimed across a desk, or arched above a sofa for a softer, ambient glow. The sculptural arm bends and extends with the same graphic clarity that defines the rest of the Compass series, carrying Renault's language into a new, freestanding form.
About Julien Renault
French designer Julien Renault grew up near Paris before studying industrial design in ESAD Design & Art School in Reims, France, and ECAL in Switzerland. These two different educations have helped to form his approach to his work – a combination of objective and rational methods with artistic and personal freedom. Currently based from his studio in Brussels, Julien’s ability to find inspiration everywhere means he is not afraid to beautify the ordinary. Convinced that all objects have a subconscious effect on our daily lives, Julien manifests the interconnection between objects and their surroundings in his designs, which he creates for a number of international brands. For HAY, Julien has designed the Pastis Collection, the Layout Collection, the Compass Lamps, and the Deville Collection.
