Story
Blow moulding and vacuum metallisation
A transparent plastic sphere is formed by blow moulding. Vacuum metallisation then coats it with aluminium in a layer only micrometres thin, giving the shade its mirrored surface. Both are processes similar to those used in high-end sunglasses production.
The 16 inch size
This pendant measures 39.9 cm (15.7 in) across in every direction and weighs 2.34 kg. Its 6W LED delivers 800 lumens at 3000K, and the shade reflects its surroundings as it hangs on a 250 cm clear cable.
