Leaf® Personal Light

Designed by Yves Behar
"A new experience in light is what we hoped for," says Yves Behar, and as a result of innovative engineering and design development, Behar's hopes became reality.

The Leaf personal light uses innovative LED technology to bring the human touch to lighting. Designed by Yves Behar of fuseproject in San Francisco, Leaf lets individuals manage lighting intensity, color, and on-off functions by simply touching the intuitive controls. Sleek, energy-efficient, and very adjustable, the Leaf is designed for the office and living areas. It is a cool and compelling way to illuminate work or set the mood.

The Design

• The Leaf offers maximum lighting options with minimal mass in an intriguing, organic form and with controls that invite human connection. The proprietary technology also addresses the most vexing problems in existing LED solutions--light intensity and heat build-up.
• "The Leaf is designed to give the user a full spectrum of choices to express light's magical and sensory variations," says Behar. "It allows the human senses to become engaged by allowing the user to choose the intensity and color of light which best suits a functional need, mood, or location."
• Additionally, the Leaf was developed according to Herman Miller's demanding Design for the Environment (DfE) protocol, emphasizing sustainable processes, materials, and recyclability. Therefore, Leaf's environmental impact is perhaps most profound through its use. On average, Leaf's LEDs consume approximately eight to nine watts of power, carry a lifespan up to 100,000 hours, and cut energy use by 40 percent compared to compact fluorescent bulbs.
