Tam Tam Pendant

Overview

Tam Tam Pendant is a pendant lamp by Fabien Dumas, 2011. It brings several lamps together in one: a central light source carries satellite lamps, and each of them can send its light in any direction.

Construction

• Central shade in lacquered aluminium, with satellite shades attached to it
• Satellite shades that can be rotated through 360º
• Opalescent methacrylate diffuser over the open end, which softens the light
• Black electrical cord
• Semi-matt finishes, in four colours for the central shade and seven for the satellite shades

Specifications

• 85.9 x 102.7 x 34.9 cm (W x D x H, Tam Tam 3)
• 9 x E27 LED Standard 8W

Organized chaos from one lampshade

Tam Tam is built on repetition of the archetypal lampshade. A number of light sources point in different directions and are arranged geometrically, to invoke a feeling of organized chaos.

Nine lamps, one cluster

The Tam Tam 3 version carries nine E27 LED Standard lamps of 8 W. A central shade in lacquered aluminium takes the satellite shades, which can be rotated through 360º, and an opalescent methacrylate diffuser over the open end softens the light.
