Wet Bell is an untraditional pendant lamp made in steel and aluminium, where a sheet of aluminium has been pressed, and a steel pipe bent to produce the end-result. In Salto & Sigsgaard's own words, Wet Bell is a lamp that provides good lighting, and which is true to its LED light source. Wet Bell is another term for a diving bell.
Salto & Sigsgaard's joint exhibitions include "Mon beau sapin" in Paris (2006) and "NOSY-T" at Form/Designcenter in Malmö (2008). They have both received several prestigious grants and exhibited in a number of venues in Denmark and abroad. Design, according to Salto & Sigsgaard, means "taking something and improving on it." They do not believe in inspiration but in diligence and carefully considered and relevant ideas.
Salto & Sigsgaard work in almost all conceivable materials in an analytical work process that is not focused on ‘styling'.
