About Float 吊灯

Float是一款为室内空间设计的吊灯。灯罩由弯曲的铝板塑形而成,悬浮于两个圆柱形部件之间,元件之间留有可见的间隙。其余部件采用车削与铣削加工的铝材,表面经过粉末喷涂处理。光源采用LED技术,配以PMMA材质的扩散罩。灯具直径为1200毫米,高度为170毫米。Float通过两个锚点悬挂于天花板,纤薄的铝制箱体隐藏了线路。表面不见任何紧固件,但每个部件均可拆卸更换。

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.
