About Double Moon Applique murale

Double Moon est une applique murale inspirée d'un événement astronomique rare au cours duquel la Terre acquiert un second satellite, temporaire. Le luminaire se compose d'une base métallique accueillant deux platines LED, l'une en partie haute et l'autre en partie basse, recouvertes de diffuseurs mats qui produisent une lumière douce. La lumière est réfléchie par des sphères en verre traitées d'un dégradé teinté effet miroir, qui dessine des motifs sur le mur et de subtils reflets sur le verre. L'applique mesure 424 mm de hauteur et 120 mm de largeur. La pose est possible en position verticale ou horizontale. Trois finitions sont proposées : nickel foncé, laiton et noir.

Unique Properties: The collection was inspired by a rare astronomical phenomenon - the "Double Moon." Various technologies have been used to create a lamp with a mysterious and bewitching effect. For example, lights were hidden in the base on both sides and covered with matte diffusers to create soft lighting. Glass spheres are painted with a mirrored tinted gradient that reflects light and creates incredible patterns on the walls, and smooth highlights appear on the glass itself.
Dimensions & Packaging: Height 424 mm. Width 120 mm.

Production Technology: The collection consists of a metal base, inside which there are two LED boards, above and below. They are covered with a matte diffuser, which creates a soft, comfortable light. The light re-reflects from the mirror gradient on the glass spheres and creates spectacular lighting on the wall. The luminous flux of lamps is large enough for a wall lamp, and therefore it will suit a wide variety of functions in the interior. Models are made in three colors: dark nickel, brass, black.
Design Challenge: The most important task was to convey the mysterious cosmic image of the double moon so that the models looked very laconic and spectacular. For this, many hand-drawn sketches were created to find a successful and simple at first glance design. This could only be achieved through LED technology and gradient staining of the glass.
Research: During the study, the properties of light were studied in order for light to create beautiful glare on the wall. For this, different glasses were used, and in the selection process, the mirror gradient turned out to be the best. Various structures were also designed, such as metal foundations and glass fasteners. All this was done to create a subtle neat silhouette of the lamp.
Inspiration: "Double Moon" is a gravitational capture phenomenon where, in addition to a single permanent natural satellite, the Moon, the Earth has a second, temporary satellite. This rare phenomenon occurred in 2024. And it became a source of inspiration for the creation of this collection of lamps. Celestial bodies have always been a source of light for people day and night. And they have always inspired people to create artificial light sources.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2024 in Moscow and finished in January 2025 in Moscow.
Operation Flow: Models can be installed vertically and horizontally. This creates different applications in space. The collection has a fairly versatile design and laconic shape. This allows you to use models in different interior styles. Due to the significant light flux, the lamps can be used next to the bed, desk and as additional lighting.
