TECNOLUMEN® TRABANT 2 LED cement pendant lamp

The name of this hanging lamp translates as “satellite”, as its shape and design are reminiscent of the moon.‎ The fixture has won many awards for its unique design, such as the iF Product Design Award in 2008.‎ The designer's intention is to forego mechanical compaction of the concrete.‎ Instead, the concrete is poured by hand and also compacted, so that the very smooth spherical surface is irregularly penetrated by blowholes and air pockets.‎ This different, lively surface quality of the individual concrete bodies makes each one a unique luminaire.‎ A concrete ball hangs on a thin wire rope, on the underside of which a segment through a high-quality glass lens (matt or clear) with surprising, precise and almost lively - with his lights Joachim Manz creates haunting plays of light that dissolve the boundaries between form and space.‎ The freelance sculptor casts lights like the TRABANT 3 from fine concrete, which seems to look down almost curiously from above.‎ Non-adjustable pendant lamp made of pigmented special concrete, glass lens either matt or clear.‎ Ball diameter: 140 mm.‎ Each lamp is numbered consecutively and bears the TECNOLUMEN logo.‎ Recommended illuminant: LED lamp spot 5.‎5 W, 12V (Only for power networks with 230 V AC voltage.‎)
