Float is a pendant lamp designed for interior spaces. The shade is shaped from bent aluminium sheet and floats between two cylindrical parts, leaving a visible gap between the elements. The other components are turned and milled aluminium with a powder coated finish. The light source uses LED technology with a diffuser made of PMMA. The lamp measures 1200 mm in diameter and 170 mm in height. Float hangs from the ceiling on two anchor points, and a slim aluminium box conceals the wiring. No fasteners are visible, yet each element can be detached and replaced.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
