Yves Béhar is a thinker. And one thing he thinks about a lot is the future. You can see it in his designs—from his reflective red-lacquered laptop for Toshiba to his elegant closed-toe Footprints for Birkenstock to his refined Aliph Jawbone Headset for cell phones.

Merging the advantages of LED technology with a humanistic approach to design, Yves Béhar and his San Francisco– based company fuseproject collaborated with Herman Miller to create an advanced task light that redefined LED capability.

Yves Béhar (IPA: [iv be.aʁ]; born 9 May 1967) is a Swiss-born American designer, entrepreneur, and educator. [1] [2] [3] He is the founder and principal designer of Fuseproject, an industrial design and brand development firm.

With Sayl, Béhar set out to design and build a chair that gives form to a spirit of surprise and delight. Inspired by the principles of suspension bridges, the frameless back of the Sayl Chair encourages a full range of movement while the suspension back material keeps you cool—all with an extremely small environmental impact.

His collaboration with Herman Miller and the creation of innovative lighting products like Leaf and Ardea showcase his ability to transform a simple conversation into groundbreaking design solutions.

Béhar’s Leaf Lamp exploits the miniaturization and sharp focus made possible by LEDs (light-emitting diodes). The LED grid can be seen on the underside of the adjustable top arm of the structure. The leaf-like shaft appears to float on its circular base.

LIGHTING – Lighting is, obviously, essential to any home, and having interesting and stylish lighting is an important consideration in interior design. We have very interesting table and floor lamps, as well as sconces in a variety of styles and periods.
