the touching lamp is a ceiling lamp composed of two luminous bodies / contact between the bodies turns the light on / all the lamp's parts are exposed - the electric wires were replaced by aluminum strips embedded in the oak beams / the aluminum joints act as conductors / and the aluminum lightshade is used both as a switch as well as a reflector // the lamp is working on a low voltage of 12 volts so one can touch every part of it bare handed // each luminous body has two joints / and all the four axes together give the lamp its freedom of movement / creating endless illumination compositions //
