Story
A black frame
Kontorno, designed by Sebastian Herkner, dates from 2021. The sleek black metal frame is embedded with LEDs, and in the pendant version the glass-shade lamp floats from nearly invisible overhead cables.
The cylinder
The cylindrical diffuser is mouthblown opaline glass and gives a warm, 360-degree glow, like the gentle radiance of a flame. The graphic geometric frame holds it in a delicate balance of pure volumes.
Horizontal volume
The horizontal volume of the pendant unfolds across the space, and the black frame is a pure contour suspended in the air.
