About Float Jiro Miantona

Ny Float dia jiro miantona natao ho an'ny toerana anaty trano. Ny takotany dia namboarina avy amin'ny takelaka aluminium nolefarina, ary miantona eo anelanelan'ny singa boribory roa, ka misy elanelana hita maso eo anelanelan'ireo singa ireo. Ny singa hafa dia aluminium nofonosina sy nokaramasinina, misy fikarakarana amboarina amin'ny fandroahana vovoka (powder coated). Ny loharanon'ny mazava dia mampiasa ny teknolojia LED miaraka amin'ny diffuser vita amin'ny PMMA. Ny jiro dia manana velaran-koditra 1200 mm ary haavony 170 mm. Ny Float dia miantona avy eny amin'ny tafo amin'ny teboka fifantohana roa, ary misy boaty aluminium tery manafina ny kofehy elektrisite. Tsy misy fitomboka hita maso, kanefa ny singa tsirairay dia azo esorina sy soloina.

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.
