Story
A first lamp from a ceramic artist
Anu Moser, a Swedish ceramic artist born in 1945, designed the Moser Pendant in 2002, and it is the first lamp she has designed. All parts except the light source are visible, and the original suspension fitting contrasts with the simple, organic shape of the shade.
Molten glass
The shapes in the Moser Pendant come from observing how molten glass develops when it is first blown; the glass shade takes its form from the drop that hot glass makes when taken from the furnace.
Light for energy-saving bulbs
The pendant was developed for energy-saving bulbs. Moser chose an enclosed drop shape to shield direct view of the light source 100%, and the mounting mechanism is patented. The fixture gives diffused light.
