About Float 吊燈

Float係一款專為室內空間設計嘅吊燈。燈罩以彎折鋁板塑形而成,懸浮喺兩個圓柱形部件之間,喺各元件之間留有明顯嘅空隙。其餘部件採用車削及銑削鋁材製成,並經過粉末塗層處理。光源採用LED技術,配以PMMA材質嘅擴散罩。呢盞燈直徑為1200毫米,高度為170毫米。Float通過兩個固定點懸掛喺天花板上,一個纖薄嘅鋁製盒子將電線隱藏其中。整體設計不見任何外露嘅緊固件,但每個部件都可以拆卸同更換。

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.
