"Many contemporary pendant lamps hide a surprising amount of complexity, multiple materials, custom housings, and plastic diffusers layered around a simple LED strip. That often leads to wasteful production and tricky recycling once the fixture breaks or goes out of style. Norm is a response that asks what happens if you commit to a single aluminum profile and let that decision drive both the form and the sustainability story, from manufacturing to the last scrap."
"The Norm pendant lamp by Moritz Walter is a fixture whose entire outer body is made from one extruded aluminum profile. The same oval tube becomes the main beam and the housings for the LEDs, which keeps production simple and scrap low. The widespread LED array is tuned for both work and living environments, so it is not just a workshop experiment or a concept that sacrifices performance for purity of idea."
The Norm pendant lamp's outer body is formed entirely from a single extruded aluminum profile, using an oval tube as the main beam and LED housings. Shorter sections of the tube are cut, sliced, and re-attached as pods that frame LED boards, act as mini reflectors, and shield diodes from direct view. A series of small LED boards spaced along the beam spreads light evenly and allows color and intensity tuning for task or ambient settings. The single-profile strategy simplifies tooling, reduces offcuts, and enables straightforward recycling by avoiding mixed materials.
