Edge. The Edge light was designed by Amanda Levete for Established & Sons in collaboration with Philips.   The design was created to show-off a brand new technology: OLED lighting.  Dubbed the new lighting technology of the 21st century, an OLED is essentially an extremely flat, lightweight panel.   When switched off, the panel resembles a mirror but when a current is applied, the panel lights up, casting a gentle evenly dispersed glow.   Levete wanted to celebrate the wafer-tin nature of OLEDs and so created a light that is reductive in its simplicity. Edge is also  an ideal task light.

New Order.  The New Order storage system was designed by Stefan Diez for Established & Sons.   He has put the practicality of form and material at the forefront of this storage design.  The powder-coated aluminum frame of Diez’s modular and stackable storage system is ornamental as well as functional due to its pleasing industrial form.  The basic frame can be accessorized with optional elements, including shelving, door compartments, space dividers, trays and castors.
