Bangkok Pendant Lamp

Bangkok

Bangkok is a pendant lamp inspired by the tiered architecture of ancient Thai temples. The silhouette was based on the temple of the Emerald Buddha in Bangkok, restated in concise forms. Each lamp is formed of two or three glass elements set in tiers, recalling the light windows that fill Thai temples with light. Glossy tinted glass creates bright highlights on all sides, while a transparent version allows mixed compositions. LED boards with matte diffusers at the top and bottom produce soft diffused light.

Level Pendant Lamp

Level

Level is a collection of pendant lamps designed for interior lighting. The collection includes three models with slightly different shapes. Each lamp is built on a metal frame that holds multi-level amber glass elements with a vertical ornament. The forms recall the silhouette of a city business center at sunset. Two LED light sources are used in every model. The lower source lights the functional areas of a room. The upper source lights the glass and creates reflections on its surface. The three models can be combined into larger compositions.

Frozen Pendant Lamp

Frozen

Frozen is a pendant lamp inspired by northern landscapes and forests. The glass shade is based on a fragment of a tree, which was scanned in three dimensions and refined in software so that the wood pattern is more pronounced and the reflections of light are richer. The shade is made of cast glass in transparent, tinted green-blue and matte white finishes, which recall winter scenery. The hole for the replaceable G4 bulb is matte, so the bulb stays hidden and the light is soft. Slim metal fasteners in a brass finish hold the cylindrical glass.

Sound Wave Pendant Lamp

Sound Wave

Sound Wave is a pendant lamp inspired by the visual form of a musical composition. The melody of Prelude No. 3, Wind on the Plain by Claude Debussy was converted into an image of a sound wave with a special program, and the resulting curve became the basis for the silhouette of the lamp. The shape was then adjusted for better light properties and for mass production. Matte white glass is placed over a metal structure, and a decorative glass element in blue, gold, black or gray is set on top, so visible fasteners are avoided. The wire height can be changed from 100 to 3000 mm.

Maya Pendant Lamp

Maya

Maya is a pendant lamp inspired by the jewelry art of ancient Mesoamerica. The metal body has a gold color and the shape of an inverted crescent moon. Both sides are covered with transparent cast glass bearing small geometric ornaments. The many facets refract the light and cast patterns of rays on nearby walls. LED sources on both sides are covered with matte diffusers for soft and even light. The lamp hangs on two wires joined by a decorative cylindrical element. The height is adjustable, and several lamps can form multilevel compositions.

Ozz Pendant Lamp

Ozz

This lamp design is inspired by a wizard's hat and is named after one of the most famous wizards, Oz. Its design is based on the idea of using only a circle as a design element, transformed through different wavy variations to define a form. Although the silhouette remains relatively consistent from different viewpoints, the shifting curves subtly influence how a person interacts with the lamp. Moving around it creates a sense of wave-like motion for the viewer.

Reflex Pendant Lamp

Reflex

Reflex is a pendant lamp designed for general and accent lighting. The main structure is a circle divided in the middle and made of natural fabric that is both translucent and reflective. Soft, scattered light similar to light in a forest is produced. A metal ball inside holds two LED sources covered with frosted glass diffusers. The height is adjustable, and the fabric shade can be removed for cleaning. The ceiling cup uses magnetic fasteners, so no bolts remain visible. The shape and the type of light were selected through research with a focus group.

Enigma Pendant Lamp

Enigma

Insight is a pendant lamp designed for accent lighting in interiors. The luminaire consists of a cylindrical metal base that holds the LED light source, combined with semi-circular elements. An adjustment system at the top changes the orientation of the light beam in the vertical direction. A cable and a wire allow the direction of the light to be set horizontally during installation. The suspension keeps the lamp static and can be adjusted in height. Ceiling cups with magnetic fixings are used, so no visible fasteners or bolts are needed.

Dot Pendant Lamp

Dot

Dot is a set of pendant lamps designed for interior spaces. Each pendant has a canoe-shaped base 30 centimeters wide, supported by an angled steel stem. A milky glass globe of 12 centimeters in diameter sits inside the base and holds a lamp of up to 3 watts. The steel rods are finished with terracotta colored electrostatic paint, and their length is adapted to each space. The pendants are made in two versions and two heights, so they can be arranged in different compositions. The glass dome softens the broad light and creates a calm atmosphere.

Kalky Ragged Pendant lamp

Kalky Ragged

Kalky Ragged is a pendant lamp with a shade made from tracing paper. The shade is produced with a self-developed technology that combines manual dyeing, impregnation, sewing and riveting. The openwork structure of the shade is highly flexible, so the shade can be inverted to obtain a completely different lamp form. Reversing requires only repositioning the mounting of the light source holder and takes about ten seconds. The hand-torn edges of the shade components contrast with the straight cut. The lamp measures 60 by 60 by 30 centimeters without the cable.

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.

Mobius  Pendant Lamp

Mobius

This reconfigurable lamp is an applied design result of Nhi Ton's research and studies on the mountain and valley origami folds which suggest motion, structure, and flexibility. With the structure, it allows users to interact and transform the shape to fit into their environment and desire. The lampshade furthermore takes on the specific form of the Moebius Strip in which top and bottom surfaces are made continuous through the simple expedient of a twist in space as the artistic representation of the conscious and unconscious dimensions of our human experience.
