Knit Hanging

Overview

Model 7450 is the Knit pendant: a knitted fabric shade 44 cm tall and Ø 45 cm across, hung from a ceiling rose. The standard drop is 200 cm. Light passes through the fabric as a diffuse, 360-degree glow and leaves through a translucent diffuser at the bottom.

Construction

Stretchy Lycra covers the bulk of the shade, knitted into ribs with the plating technique. The darker ribs are opaque, and the thinly knitted space between them transmits the light. The shade fabric is PES FR; the ring and support below it are ABS, the diffuser is PMMA and the ceiling rose is ABS. Its 24 Beige M1 finish carries the NCS reference S 2005-Y50R.

Ribbed Lycra

The Knit pendant is covered in stretchy Lycra that is knitted into ribs using the plating technique. Between the opaque, darker ribs the fabric is knitted thinly, so the shade passes a diffuse, 360-degree glow. The ribbed surface is visible and invites touch.

Light and fabric

Knit was designed for Vibia by Meike Harde. The ribs thin out into single and then finer rows towards the cap that seals the top of the shade, and the density of the fabric changes as it stretches over the diffuser.

Installation

The pendant mounts on the surface from a ceiling rose and can be dimmed. Model 7450 has a standard drop of 200 cm, and the systems guarantee easy installation, simple maintenance and seamless integration.
