Konstantin Grcic, renowned designer, designed the Mayday portable lamp taking inspiration from the lamps used by car mechanics. This no-frills lamp is equipped with a hook for easy attachment under the hood of a car. Grcic, a defender of "re-design", took a simple product, the construction hand lamp, and adapted it for domestic use. His goal was to update the design by adding a touch of contemporary irony, thus transforming something well-known into something unknown.
