Don’t let w225 Ion’s delicate lines deceive you: This is the ultimate result of research, a journey into light technology and mechanical engineering. Behind its understated lines lies a beautifully configurable system of light. Its mechanics centre around a highly sophisticated miniature friction joint with cordless power connection, allowing 360° rotation. From wide-angle workspace illumination to focused bedside reading light, w225 Ion is truly designed for versatility – while offering light that is nothing short of exceptional.

The core of w225 Ion’s mechanical design is its miniature friction joint, the result of dedicated research and development. While akin to the joints used in modern laptops, this solution features a much wider movement range of 360°. Solidly built, it allows for fluid yet exact positioning at any angle – and then stays put, even after countless readjustments.
A choice of arms in two different lengths, combined with various mounting options, allows for a wide range of lighting possibilities. Task light or reading light, floor lamp or wall mounted – it’s all up to you. All elements are available in black or white. In 2024 we introduce an additional tumbled raw aluminium finish for some versions.
The lighting technology in w225 Ion is the result of a perfect balance between several ingenious components, each playing its own role in delivering exceptionally high-performance illumination. The state-of-the-art-full-spectrum COB LED provides absolutely stunning light further refined by a high-quality lens. A sophisticated heat management system and effective glare protection optimise the lifespan and performance of the LED, while allowing for comfortable use.
Available in two different optical systems, depending on the light you want to create: wide and even, or narrow with a clear-cut spotlight definition.
Designed to recreate the full, uninterrupted colour spectrum of sunlight, full-spectrum light has a rich, profound quality that is impossible to achieve with the limited spectrum of a standard LED. Full-spectrum light also offers superior colour rendering, making it an ideal choice for environments where correct colour perception is a vital aspect.
The light is available in two different colour temperatures – 2700 K or 3000 K.
w225 Ion is available in a tumbled raw aluminium finish, with no added coatings or protective treatments. This allows for resource-efficient production, easier recycling, and a graceful ageing process. From the start, its naturally textured surface has a rich, tactile depth, with any marks from the production process only adding to its character. Over time, stains, fingerprints, and oxidation will evolve into a beautiful, distinctive patina.
Dirk Winkel is a Berlin-based product designer who graduated from the Royal College of Art London, MA Design Products in 2010. Specialized in lighting and furniture design, he set up his design office in Berlin in summer 2011. Driven by the idea of formal purism as a basic principle of sustainability, his great interests are the exploration of pushing the boundaries of mass production techniques, the rethinking of light and lighting paradigms, and the investigation of new materials and their ecological and design potential. Since 2012 he has been teaching Design Construction at the Industrial Design course of the UdK Berlin. In 2022, he was appointed guest professor for product design at the HBKsaar. His work has won numerous awards and nominations like the Swedish Design Award (Svensk Form), Designs of the Year (London Design Museum), the German Design Award (Special Mention) and the Editors‘ Choice Award (Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair).
