The argument
A light should be the sum of its best parts, not the hiding place for its worst.
One desk light. Eleven parts. Each one chosen, weighed and named. Nothing hidden inside a moulded shell, because there is no shell.

The make
We get to eleven parts by deleting the other eight.
The first Axis One had nineteen parts. Every review since has been an argument to delete one. The version you can buy is eleven. A part earns its place by doing a job no other part can, or it goes. Read the whole make →
