Morgenstern is an adjustable lamp designed for small, flexible living environments, with a focus on student life. 

Student apartments are often spatially limited and multifunctional, requiring lighting that can adapt to different activities rather than serve a single fixed purpose. The lamp consists of a spherical body resting on three detachable spikes. By rotating the lamp, the direction of the light can be changed: from focused light for working to softer, indirect light aimed at a wall. 

This simple movement replaces complex joints and allows for intuitive interaction.

Adaptability was a key design driver. Students often move frequently and need objects that can adjust to new spaces. The spikes are attached with simple screw joints, allowing the lamp to be easily disassembled, transported, and reconfigured. By changing the length or shape of the spikes, the lamp can shift in scale, for example from a table lamp to a floor lamp.

These interchangeable parts connect the lamp to the idea of open design. 

Users are encouraged to modify or replace elements themselves, whether for functional or personal reasons. New spike designs, materials, or proportions can be added over time, allowing the lamp to evolve with its user.
