Dezeen Showroom: The io Pendant light by UK brand Astro features a glass shade, which has been extruded to recreate the fluted detailing found in the ionic columns of Ancient Greece.

By gravity-feeding glass through an extruder, the design's cylindrical exterior is subtly ribbed, creating a multi-faceted surface that reflects and refracts the light emanating from the LED strip within.

The electrical components are obscured to allow the material to remain the light's focal point.

The pendant, which is suspended horizontally from the ceiling, comes in a chrome and a matte black finish.

It forms part of Astro's newly released Capsule Collection Volume 01, which also includes the Orb and Halftone light.
