Leaf Personal Light
for Herman Miller
by Yves Behar
Named for the organic flowering of a tree, the Leaf Light by Herman Miller evokes its' natural counterpart. This elegantly balanced task light bends naturally to illuminate your work surface. Twenty LED bulbs are arranged to balance the light color (10 cool, 10 warm), and vented through the top in through little ports resembling the stomate of a natural leaf.
Developed according to Herman Miller's demanding Design for the Environment (DfE) protocol, Leaf emphasizes sustainable processes, materials, and recyclability. Leaf's LEDs consume only eight to nine watts of power, carry a lifespan up to 100,000 hours, cutting energy use by 40 percent over to compact fluorescent bulbs.
