HENKO Light takes inspiration from the theatrical interaction a user experiences when operating and adjusting the light. The light pole can easily be adjusted and rotated 360 degrees; the opposite end of the light can be placed in the base to create a varied angle of light. Tactile interaction defines the position and orientation of HENKO; encouraging the user to further interact with the light and its environment.
