About Float Rippvalgusti

Float on rippvalgusti, mis on loodud sisetarbeks. Vari on vormitud painutatud alumiiniumplekist ning hõljub kahe silindrilise osa vahel, jättes elementide vahele nähtava vahe. Ülejäänud komponendid on treitud ja freesitud alumiiniumist, pulbervärvitud pinnaviimistlusega. Valgusallikana kasutatakse LED-tehnoloogiat koos PMMA-st valmistatud hajutiga. Valgusti läbimõõt on 1200 mm ja kõrgus 170 mm. Float on lae külge riputatud kahe kinnituspunktiga ning saledasse alumiiniumkarpi on peidetud juhtmestik. Kinnitusdetailid ei ole nähtavad, kuid iga element on siiski eemaldatav ja väljavahetatav.

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.
