Abstracta Moon Pendant Lamp
MOON PENDANT LAMP
MOON PENDANT LAMP
Design by Thomas Bernstrand
"A superbly orchestrated fusion of lighting and acoustics."
A globe-shaped lamp of functional precision, innovative design and exceptional acoustics, Moon provides directed lighting quality of the highest order.
Its shape and generous scale allow it to absorb both high- and low-frequency ambient noise effectively. “I’ve given a lot of thought to outer space and the Moon – to the kind of vacuum that exists there. A place with light, yet utterly silent,” remarks Bernstrand.
The sound absorbing lamp brings a classic, clean shape to the acoustic lighting segment. The luminaire is recessed in the lamp, creating a comfortable, downward, and glare-free light.
Aesthetically speaking, Moon is characterized by elegance and perfect execution. “By combining two classic lamp shapes – a globe and a cone hidden within the globe –, I was able to create a spherical lamp that offers directed light,” explains Bernstrand.
The outer layer of the globe is made from polyester felt and comes in a range of different colours. The felt covers a sound absorbing core, which is made from recycled PET.
In designing Moon, Bernstrand left nothing to chance. Following two years of development work, he worked closely with Abstracta’s product developers to arrive at a lamp whose shape not only produces really good lighting but maximises acoustic impact.
The lamp’s housing consists of two acoustic felt blankets, each with its particular properties. And thanks to clever construction, even the air within the lamp serves as a sound-absorbing material. This results in exceptionally high acoustic performance, very low material consumption – and, thus, a very lightweight sound absorbing lamp.
DESIGNER
THOMAS BERNSTRAND
Driven by curiosity and armed with a critical eye, designer Thomas Bernstrand is devoted to challenging our habitual perceptions, our understanding of things and where they belong.
His works often involve unexpected shifts between contexts, resulting in particular design idioms and functionalities appearing in places where they have never been seen before.
Bernstrand’s works include his two renowned lamp series, Dikanyama and Shibuya, designed for Zero, and the Bob sofa, which he co-designed with Stefan Borselius for Blå Station. The dB sound-absorbing screen series is his first work for Abstracta.
Born in 1965 and based in Stockholm, Thomas Bernstrand studied at the Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design and at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm
He has received numerous Swedish and international design awards, and has exhibited at Colette in Paris and at MoMA in New York City.
