About Float Lámpada Colgante

Float é unha lámpada colgante deseñada para espazos interiores. A pantalla está conformada a partir de chapa de aluminio dobrada e flutúa entre dúas pezas cilíndricas, deixando un espazo visible entre os elementos. Os outros compoñentes son de aluminio torneado e fresado, cun acabado en po. A fonte de luz emprega tecnoloxía LED cun difusor feito de PMMA. A lámpada mide 1200 mm de diámetro e 170 mm de altura. Float pende do teito mediante dous puntos de anclaxe, e unha delgada caixa de aluminio oculta a fiaxe. Non se ven fixacións, aínda así cada elemento pode desmontarse e substituírse.

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.
