Description

Formed from a sequence of interlocking aluminum parts, this aluminum table lamp by BUREAU OF ENTROPY is held together without screws or welding—only through pressure and precise tolerance. From above, it reveals an X-shaped silhouette: a quiet geometry of intent. Light seeps gently from its lower opening, gliding along the surfaces of the body and bathing the surrounding space in a soft, ambient glow.
When placed higher—on a shelf or elevated surface—it shifts character. A second form emerges: the construction becomes legible, the inner structure exposed.
Named The Writer’s Beacon, the piece serves as a quiet guide—drawing the writer’s focus to the page before them, while letting the rest fade away. It does not simply illuminate a space, but defines a field of attention. Through its measured form and restrained presence, it becomes both anchor and compass: a fixed point in the act of thinking.

Standard EU plug with dimmer. Shown at ~35% brightness. Fine scratches or slight distortions can occur due to material and build – natural signs of the handcrafted process.

About BUREAU OF ENTROPY Visit Showroom →

Bureau of Entropy is a design collective founded in 2025 by Marvin Julian Freund and Matthias Figurowicz. United by a lifelong friendship, their shared journey began in the world of toolmaking, where they mastered the fundamentals of precise metalworking – turning, milling, filing, polishing. This hands-on experience laid the foundation for a design approach rooted in structural logic and material sensitivity. Marvin later studied architecture, focusing on spatial composition and proportion, while Matthias pursued mechanical engineering, specializing in construction and technical systems. Their different backgrounds converge in a shared vision that combines architectural sensibility with engineering precision. At the core of their work lies a clear functional logic: each object is conceived from the inside out – not as a form that follows function, but as one that emerges in parallel with it. Inspired by the architectural principle that form and function are one, they create reduced objects shaped by discipline, spatial tension, and structural clarity. Their work draws inspiration from the raw materiality of Brutalism, the utopian visions of the Space Age, and the geometric clarity of ancient cultures. Sometimes, their pieces feel both familiar and speculative. A defining feature of their approach is a precisely developed construction method based on a slot-and-fit system. There are no screws, no welding – each lamp is assembled through a defined sequence of interlocking parts. The order of assembly is crucial, with tolerances so fine, they are measured in fractions of a human hair. These objects are held together by tension, friction, and precision alone – as if assembled from within. Aluminium is their material of choice – selected for its dynamic interaction with light. Throughout the day, it shifts from warm reflection to cool precision to atmospheric radiance. Bureau of Entropy creates timeless, spatially resonant objects that shape a room not through volume, but through quiet presence.
