Designer: Yves Behar. Yves Behar was inspired by the Ardea, the great herons—elegant birds with long, infinitely flexible necks. . . He designed the Ardea light to be infinitely adjustable. Its ingenious neck design lets you easily direct Illumination exactly where you need it—on paperwork, a keyboard, or a good book. And like the herons, Ardea is kind in harmony with the earth.
