The Design

About Float Pendellampe

Float er en pendellampe designet til indendørs rum. Skærmen er formet af bukket aluminiumsplade og svæver mellem to cylindriske dele, hvilket efterlader et synligt mellemrum mellem elementerne. De øvrige komponenter er drejet og fræset aluminium med en pulverlakeret finish. Lyskilden anvender LED-teknologi med en diffusor fremstillet af PMMA. Lampen måler 1200 mm i diameter og 170 mm i højden. Float hænger fra loftet i to ophængspunkter, og en slank aluminiumsboks skjuler ledningerne. Ingen samlingselementer er synlige, men hver del kan alligevel afmonteres og udskiftes.

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.
