SHINTARO KONO ONE FOR THE EDGE Plastic and metal lamp

One for the Edge is a light object for both corners of a room and corners of the mind.‎ With its small red body, the piece actively yet gently illuminates the places where usually unnoticed.‎ The big circular wheel can be turned by hand to control both switching and dimming, allowing the light to be adjusted through a simple physical gesture rather than a conventional switch.‎ The piece can be used either wall-mounted or as a tabletop object.‎ It is a powered (non-rechargeable) light, and one of its distinctive features is its dual power-entry design: the power inlet is placed on both the back and the underside, and either connection point can be used depending on the setting.‎ The piece is framed as a product released by the fictional 1955 American company “EMATON ELECTRONICS.‎” In its story, the light was designed by one of the company’s engineers for his child, who was afraid of the darkness in the bedroom.‎ The work is rooted in the idea that even an ordinary industrial part once used in a factory can have a second life.‎ Through this fictional product history, One for the Edge invites attention to overlooked stories hidden in corners—both in space and in the mind.‎ Specifications: materials sheet metal, plastic, electronic components;  nstallation/use options: wall-mounted or tabletop; power supply: wired (non-rechargeable), with dual power-entry points on the back and underside; control: manual wheel for on/off and dimming.‎ Further info from manufacturer on ONE FOR THE EDGE SHINTARO KONO
