Unique Properties: The luminaire consists of a cylindrical metal base, hosting the LED light source. It features semi-circular elements. At the top there is a unique adjustment system, using which the orientation of the light beam can be changed in the vertical direction. And using a cable and wire, the direction of light can be adjusted horizontally when installing the luminaire. It is this suspension system that allows the luminaire to be installed static, which would not be possible if it were hanging from a single wire. They can be easily adjusted in height, depending on the ceiling and the task of the luminaire. To make the wire hang elegantly, it is connected to the cable with a special decorative element.

Production Technology: Special ceiling cups with magnetic fixings were developed for the luminaires to make the design more elegant. No fasteners or bolts. The collection is available in two colors: black with shagreen and matt gold and black with shagreen and matt white.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge for us was to combine the original ideas in the swivel mechanism and combine it with a proportionally laconic luminaire design.
Research: Our design study looked at swivel mechanisms. To come up with a concise unique mount. With modern design. To do this, we studied other mechanisms and trends of modern forms in product design.
Inspiration: The very name of the collection tells us a lot about the mysteries this luminaire hides. The luminaires concise design is not only dictated by contemporary trends, but above all by its design features. The shape of the luminaire hides almost endless adjustment possibilities, so that the lighting can be set individually for the user.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2021 in Moscow and finished in August 2022 in Moscow, and was exhibited in Interlight Russia in September 2022.
Operation Flow: A pendant lamp can be used for accent lighting of a room. The unique swivel mechanism allows you to adjust the direction and angle of the light output. You can highlight the reading area at the desktop or by the bed. And also illuminate the decor and art in the house.
