Reflector is a minimalist lighting fixture created by Copenhagen-based designer Frederik Gustav, exhibited at Værktøj 1. The exhibition Værktøj 1 brings together designers Frederik Gustav, Jonas Trampedach, Kasper Salto, and Michael Antrobus to explore the art of metal bending. Centered around the Gressel HB14, a manually operated bar bender commonly used in industrial production, the exhibition examines how this specific tool informs their creative processes. The designers aim to present a unified showcase, despite their individual approaches, by focusing on how tools shape both the evolution of ideas and the final outcome of their designs.

The exhibition explores how tools not only shape the design process but also influence the development of ideas and leave a lasting impact on the final product. Despite the varied design approaches of the exhibitors, their shared use of this specific tool creates a cohesive narrative throughout the exhibition. Among the pieces on display is Reflector, a lighting fixture composed of bent steel rods and aluminum shades. Its modular design allows for multiple configurations, enabling the fixture to function as a single lamp or expand into a larger installation suited for architectural spaces.
