TAF Studio “With the Ambit Lamp Series, our main focus was the shape of the design. We found it interesting to combine a soft and round shape with a sharp and triangular form — the triangular shape meets the cord in a natural way at the top and opens up to give light at the bottom,” Ståhlbom explains.
Founded in 2002 and based in Stockholm, TAF Studio has become known for its thoughtful, often playful approach to product and interior design. Their work — held in the permanent collections of MoMA, the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, and the Danish Design Museum in Copenhagen — subtly elevates the everyday through design that is both practical and precise.
“Starting by turning the geometry of the design into a three-dimensional form, we wanted to find a silhouette that could work in multiple spatial contexts — whether it be in any room of a home, office, commercial space, or hospitality project,” adds Gustafson.
That sense of universality comes from the clarity of the Ambit form — one that resists trends by focusing on proportion, material, and finish. Each lamp is crafted from aluminum using spinning techniques. Colored versions are polished and wet-painted for a smooth, consistent surface, while the Brushed Aluminum version is finished with a light lacquer to preserve its raw, tactile character.
TAF Studio “What attracts us to shapes often differs, as it depends on context as well as materiality, colors, and texture,” says Ståhlbom. “You can find numerous shapes in nature, yet bringing them into a specific context is what gives the shape its meaning — like creating a lamp out of a shape.”
Over time, the Ambit collection has expanded to include pendant, rail, and wall-mounted versions — each staying true to the original geometry while adapting to new uses.
Characterized by simple lines and elegant shapes, the Ambit Rail Lamp adds a directional, architectural expression to the series. Its aluminum shades are handspun, with white interiors that offer contrast while enhancing the quality of light in any space — from open-plan kitchens to collaborative work environments.
The Ambit Pendant Lamp brings a timeless yet contemporary quality to the collection. Made of aluminum, it features clean lines and a white interior that amplifies the light it casts, creating a gentle contrast to the outer shade. The pendant works equally well as a standalone piece or in symmetrical rows and vibrant clusters — offering flexibility across both home and commercial settings.
The Ambit Wall Lamp is designed with a quiet, modern expression and subtle, functional details. Its arm can be adjusted around an axis of 120 degrees from the wall bracket, while the lampshade itself rotates 60 degrees to either side — allowing for both direct and indirect lighting. “Since the lamp is hanging on the wall while providing direct lighting, something that we found interesting to reference was the construction of bike frames,” the designers note. The result is a light that adapts to its setting, from bedside use to kitchen corners or hallway accents.
TAF Studio “With the Ambit Lamp Series, as well as our work as a whole, we seek to make ordinary life less so — through subtle but meaningful changes in how products look and work.”
