Description
Overview
The W is a large-format, flexible pendant by PerezOchando, designed to adapt to the lighting requirements of large spaces. A black vertical structure forms the main shaft, and fourteen rods emerge from it.
Construction
- Some rods move upwards to expand the light and others downwards to focus it
- A suspended spotlight on each rod projects the light downwards or in a large, sharp beam
- Cylindrical spotlights with an inner ring that spreads the light evenly
- Structure in aluminium; LED included; dimmable
- Black cord and black canopy
Specifications
- Diameter 120 cm folded and 200 cm open
- Three finishes, set by the colour of the ring inside the spotlights
Story
A winding machine as the starting point
The starting point of The W is an old-fashioned winding machine, which winds thread or wire around an axis to form a ball. Pedro Ochando and Claudia Pérez took an interest in its shape rather than its function, a shape that allows vertical movement with a horizontal effect.
Under a dome of light
The design is light, sober and functional, with great presence, and it can change shape. Opened, the lamp extends its light across 2 metres; folded, it measures 1.2 metres across and focuses on a smaller area. According to the designers, being under the open lamp feels like being below a dome of light, and at any size it gives exceptional ambient lighting.
