Studio Bizq presents the UNUE-L pendant light
Concept
The idea of a lampshade as a light diffuser has been reduced to its essence.
The lampshade hangs suspended from the light bulb and makes direct contact
with the surface of the bulb. The silicone sheet material is highly suitable
because of its excellent heat-resistant properties.
Design
The lampshade is laser cut from sheet material. By joining two edges shaped
like a meandering path of interlocking “fingers” the lampshade
gets its conic shape.
The resulting decorative connection is non permanent and can easily be undone.
Computer controlled laser cutting and engraving is ideally suited for the
complex pattern and engraving of the UNUE.
High quality materials and parts give the light its sophisticated appearance.
The light is fitted with a woven white wire and a porcelain socket with
a smooth shaped solid nylon connecting part.
An oversized decorative coal-wire light bulb (diameter 80 mm / 3,1 inch)
gives the whole its lush looks and golden glow when switched on.
Decoration
The decoration of the engraved versions is derived from the wave-like properties
of light and connects seamlessly with the shape that clasps the bulb. The
waves almost seem to emanate from the light itself. This is enhanced by
the direct contact between the shade and the bulb.
Designer Timo Voorhuis: “The time is ripe
for a next generation of decorative products. I‘ve set it as my task
as a designer to draw decorative elements from new sources”.
Earlier this year the Flo vase
was released within this style and there are a number of designs in the
pipeline.
