The Design

About Float Viseča svetilka

Float je viseča svetilka, zasnovana za notranje prostore. Senčnik je oblikovan iz upognjene aluminijaste pločevine in lebdi med dvema cilindričnima deloma, tako da med elementi ostane viden razmik. Preostali sestavni deli so izdelani iz struženega in frezanega aluminija s praškasto barvano površino. Svetlobni vir uporablja LED tehnologijo z difuzorjem iz PMMA. Svetilka meri 1200 mm v premeru in 170 mm v višini. Float je obešen na strop v dveh pritrdilnih točkah, tanka aluminijasta škatla pa skriva ožičenje. Nobeni pritrdilni elementi niso vidni, kljub temu pa je mogoče vsak element odstraniti in zamenjati.

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.
