Silverback, the new lamp by Danish design collective KiBiSi for Louis Poulsen, was recently launched at Messe Frankfurt Light + Building 2012. The lamp is a wall and ceiling fixture, and seeks to create a new interface between light and the architectural space.

Silverback features a soft, waterdrop-like shape. The lamp combines a metallic back with an opal white diffuser: the metallic back mirrors the ceiling or wall the fixture is mounted on, providing a permanent visual detail, whether the lamp is on or off. The mirroring effect gives a unique morphed experience regardless of the background surface, structure, color or material thus allowing for potential unlimited applicability. Silverback was launched in both fluorescent and LED versions.
