The photo of Jetzt in Orange shows the original version of 2009. Jetzt is part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art (the MoMA) in New York since 2009.

​Axel Schmid about the original design in 2009: "The table lamp Jetzt uses the world’s first high voltage LED, so there’s no need for a transformer. To be able to run these without housing, the LEDs are cast into transparent plastic. This light block is glued to an anodized aluminum structure, that also guarantees a sufficient cooling effect. The structure is lasered out of a rectangular sheet of aluminium, so there’s no waste in material. Three bending operations define the shape."

Due to the development of LED technology, the new version uses low-voltage LEDs.
