Fris Pendant

Overview

Fris Pendant is the hanging version of Fris, a lighting system by Joan Gaspar for Marset. A glass tube encases the light, and the glass also suspends the whole system, so the lamp can rotate and the light can be steered in a chosen direction.

Inside the tube

• Two profiles: one carries the light source, the other acts as a parabola
• The parabola projects a crisp, intense light
• Aluminium structure with a glass diffuser tube

Hanging and composing

• Each unit is supported by a strap
• Units can be placed horizontally, in line, one on top of the other, or perpendicularly, creating intersections of light
• Different assembly and hanging accessories join a set of lamps
• A single unit can also work as an individual lamp

Light and electrics

• LED SMD, 24 Vdc, CRI 90, in 2700 K and 3000 K
• Dimmable depending on the power supply purchased
• Hardwired, with a black cord

One beam for every unit

Fris was created to draw thin beams of light in a space, each pointing in any direction. The pendant version lets several units be combined in different sizes and positions, each aiming its own beam.

The glass is both material and function: it protects the light and also hangs the system. Fris sets out to give a set of lamps in which each one directs the light individually, a previously unresolved issue.
