Story
From a flat sheet to a bell shape
The starting point for the LC Shutters Pendant is a flat sheet of aluminium, which is worked into the bell-shaped shade. The pattern is cut and pressed into two interacting layers, and light leaves between them in a high-precision pattern. The 3 mm thick shade makes a very solid fixture.
Light through an opal diffuser
The concentrated light of the source is filtered through an opalescent diffuser for soft, comfortable distribution. The light is mainly directed downwards, and the perforations keep the contour of the fixture visible whether it is on or off. The aim was a comfortable and atmospheric lighting fixture for both private and public settings.
