At the end of the vast flat lands of southern Sweden, at the edge of the Baltic Sea, lies the small town of Åhus. This is the setting for ateljé Lyktan, a lighting manufacturer with an 90-year long history and an archive of lights that have defined Swedish design over the last century. By creating innovative, energy efficient and sustainable lighting solutions adapted to people’s requirements and with the least possible impact on the environment, ateljé Lyktan contributes to, and takes responsibility for, a sustainable development within society in general.

From hemp to lamp. More than just an evolution of ateljé Lyktans classic luminaire, the Supertube, the Superdupertube represents their commitment to sustainability and material exploration. Just as the Supertube in the 1970s was groundbreaking for its time, the Superdupertube is a tool for navigating towards a circular economy. Together with Snøhetta, ateljé Lyktan have refined every aspect of the product - from design to manufacturing - to minimize its environmental footprint. They have carefully considered every step in the lifecycle, from raw materials to recycling. The Superdupertube is not just a product; it is a statement of our commitment to sustainability and responsibility.
