About Float Hanglamp

Float is 'n hanglamp wat ontwerp is vir binneruimtes. Die skerm is gevorm uit gebuigde aluminiumplaat en "swewe" tussen twee silindriese dele, met 'n sigbare gaping tussen die elemente. Die ander komponente is gedraaide en gefreesde aluminium met 'n poeierbedekte afwerking. Die ligbron gebruik LED-tegnologie met 'n diffuser vervaardig uit PMMA. Die lamp is 1200 mm in deursnee en 170 mm hoog. Float hang van die plafon af aan twee ankerpunte, en 'n dun aluminiumkas verberg die bedrading. Geen bevestigingsmiddels is sigbaar nie, en tog kan elke element verwyder en vervang word.

Production Technology: Shade is shaped using aluminum sheet bending technology. Other components of construction are mainly made from turned and milled aluminum. The light source uses LED technology and diffusor made from pmma. Aluminum parts are powder coated.
Design Challenge: Because at first it was made as bespoke lamp, the assembly was made in welding technic. After decision to put lamp in bigger market, the question of feasibility arose, but intention of clean and monolithic aesthetics remained. During design process a great consideration was shown for integrating technology components into the lamp design itself. It helped to avoid additional boxes on ceilings for power sources. There are no visible fasteners, but still every element can be detached and replaced separately.
Inspiration: Inspiration came from architecture and nature. It's like floating leaf in space, light and delicate, but in the same time it is a formant of space, the element of scale, the present, no noise, just beautiful relationship between space and object.
Project Duration: Lamp design process started in late 2017 as part of individual interior project. In 2019 it was put on serial production in Kaunas, Lithuania.
Operation Flow: The lamp is delivered already assembled. It hangs from the ceiling on two anchor points. Only 6mm diameter aluminum box mounted to ceiling conceals wiring. Lamp is controlled by a standard switch or dimer.
