About Stanley 2701 Pendant Light
Stanley 2701 has simple, clean lines, a monolithic architecture inspired by the mysterious black monolith in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey. It has been designed with particular attention to its unique geometry, which allows for direct downlighting and indirect side lighting. Environmentally friendly, the suspension is made from recyclable aluminum. When switched on, soft, gradated lines of light appear on the side surfaces. Off it offers a beautiful play of light and shadow throughout the day. The Stanley lamps can be used alone or in groups.

Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
Our main source of inspiration was the mysterious black monolith from Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The matt finish evokes a mineral texture despite its aluminium construction. Its monolithic appearance and the lightness of its volumes recreate a feeling of floating in a mysterious, almost magical way.
Our intention was that even when switched off, this 45cm high suspension offers a superb play of light and shadow throughout the day. When switched on, soft, glare-free gradations of light appear on its side surfaces and a direct, functional light is directed downwards.
Stanley can be used individually or in groups to create a harmonious, well-balanced path of light through the space.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
The luminaire was designed with particular attention to its unique geometry, allowing a variety of designs and lights to be created with the same geometric concept, resulting in the Stanley collection (S/2701, S/2702, S/2703). The complex assembly system developed has allowed us to create the impression of a luminaire with a monolithic appearance that can be fully dismantled, allowing easy access to the light source and easy repair if necessary, making it a durable suspension fixture. Environmentally friendly, the luminaire is made entirely from recyclable aluminium and offers a powerful LED light source.
What are your future plans for this award winning design?
We are currently developing its marketing.

(S/2701, S/2702, S/2703) - Inspiration
- Fascinated by the relationship between light and shadow, form and reflection, Nicolas Boon creates graphic lighting with spectacular visual effects. The object and the effect it produces are at the heart of his research. The simple and pure lines of the Stanley collection perfectly embody the studio's philosophy: to create simple and authentic objects that are both functional and aesthetic. A monolithic architecture with a soft and pleasant light, reminiscent of the mysterious black monolith in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2018 and finished in June 2019 in Luxembourg.
- Operation Flow
- The Stanley suspension offers a beautiful play of light and shadow throughout the day. When illuminated, soft, gradated lines of light appear on the side surfaces. The pendant light has been designed to provide both direct downlighting and indirect side lighting. It gives off a pleasant, soft light that creates a warm and friendly atmosphere in your home. The lightness of its volumes gives the illusion of floating in a mysterious, almost magical way.
