In 1999, the designers King & Miranda created belux diogenes, a floor lamp that combines both types of lighting: a targeted reading light and a large indirect light. This property and its compact construction make belux diogenes a system perfectly adapted to confined spaces. Both the indirect lighting and the reading light are integrated in the luminaire head and can be conveniently directed from the seat, independently of each other. In addition, the reading light can be oriented exactly towards the reading. v now uses LEDs as a light source. Thanks to their particularly long service life, they do not require four new colours: graphite black, gold grey, bronze and white, which are used from head to toe and give a completely new look to beautiful diogenes.
