About Float ペンダントランプ
Floatは室内空間のためにデザインされたペンダントランプである。シェードは曲げ加工を施したアルミニウム板から成形され、2つの円筒形パーツの間に浮かぶように配置されて、各要素の間に目に見える隙間を生み出している。その他の部品は旋削およびフライス加工されたアルミニウム製で、粉体塗装仕上げが施されている。光源にはLED技術を採用し、ディフューザーはPMMA製である。ランプの寸法は直径1200mm、高さ170mm。Floatは2箇所のアンカーポイントで天井から吊り下げられ、細身のアルミニウムボックスが配線を隠している。留め具は一切見えないが、各要素は取り外して交換することが可能である。

- 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.
