Milan 09: Swedish architects Tham & Videgård Hansson have designed their first product – a folded metal pendant light.
Top lamp, designed for Swedish lighting brand Zero, will be launched in Milan next month, during the international furniture fair.
Here’s some info from the architects:
–
Tham & Videgård Hansson Architects has made its first foray into mass-produced product design with Top lamp, produced by Zero. It’s a sheet of metal folded into a pyramid shape and its bottom is sealed with translucent plastic to diffuse the light.
One of the corners can be tilted by the user, making it seem more like a pendant sculpture than a light. The Top light will also expand into a series of lamps on the same theme and will be shown for the first time in Milan 2009.’

i saw something in Milan the same as this last year in a part of Tortona with some British designers. it was triangular, sheet steel and adjusted in the same way i think.

i’m undecided: after a tree hotel cube, a triangular pendant…may be a circle table next time

I think ist a good product with a fuctional twist I like.
The size makes it: it would look trivial smaller, and
be unpractical any bigger. Works well with energysavers
due to its foil. Nice archetype. I say well done!

I’ve seen a lot of circular lamps from may different designers, a lot of triangular ones as well. The detailing makes all the difference!
