Buds 2 Suspension

Overview

Buds 2 Suspension is Rodolfo Dordoni's 2016 pendant whose full outline is blown in cased glass: white glass within, colour without, and a glossy surface. It is one of several lamps in the Buds range, which plays with shapes and tones.

Construction

Inside, the glass is straw yellow, so the warm white colourway shows ivory when lit and white when dark. An injection-moulded polycarbonate part, clear, supports the shade. The lamp hangs from stainless steel wire next to a clear electrical cord, below a white gloss ABS canopy.

Specifications

Full-shaped glass

Buds 2 Suspension brings blown glass magic to a full, rounded pendant. It sits within a family of lamps that explore combinations of form and colour.

Two layers of glass

One glass is white and the other coloured, with a straw-yellow interior. That combination gives the warm white colourway its ivory glow when lit, and its white look when the lamp is switched off.
