Reinier de Jong for Stilst

Wood is the main material used by Reinier de Jong in designing these new wall products for the Swedish brand Stilst: two objects created for calm homes.

Reinier de Jong designs two new products for the wall: an adjustable wall light named Set and Stiles wall decoration.

Set wall light is adjustable in height and can be turned sideways as well. It consists of two ash wood dowels and an ash wood fitting. The fitting can be moved upwards and downwards over the aluminium tube which is mounted between the dowels. A matching knob at the back of the fitting allows for keeping the fitting in place.

Stiles are diamond-shaped tiles from birch wood to create your own geometric pattern on the wall. Combining them and turning them into hexagons, creates the illusion of three dimensional shapes. The variation in color tone is created by one tile being turned in comparison to the adjacent tiles. Because of these different wood grain directions, the light reflects differently. By walking pass the Stiles you will notice that seemingly darker ones get lighter and ones that look lighter become darker.
