About Float Taa ya Kunyongwa (Pendant Lamp)
Float ni taa ya kunyongwa iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya mazingira ya ndani ya majengo. Kivuli chake kimeundwa kutoka kwenye karatasi ya alumini iliyopindwa na "kuelea" kati ya sehemu mbili za silinda, hivyo kuacha nafasi inayoonekana kati ya vipengele hivyo. Vipengele vingine vimetengenezwa kwa alumini iliyosongwa na kupindwa kwa mashine (turned and milled), yenye umaliziaji wa rangi ya unga (powder coating). Chanzo cha mwanga kinatumia teknolojia ya LED yenye kieneza mwanga (diffuser) kilichotengenezwa kwa PMMA. Taa hii ina kipenyo cha milimita 1200 na urefu wa milimita 170. Float hutundikwa dari kwa kutumia sehemu mbili za nanga, na kisanduku chembamba cha alumini huficha nyaya za umeme. Hakuna vifungo vinavyoonekana, hata hivyo kila kipengele kinaweza kuondolewa na kubadilishwa.

- "light", "pendant", "minimal", "float", "ascetic", "lamp", "space", "modern"
- 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.
