Luna Lamp by Design House Stockholm
”My dream was a globe as perfect as the full moon: no shadows, just a perfect iridescent light. But how to get rid of that top lid with cables and hanging mechanism that compromise every glass globe I’ve seen so far? Quite simple at the end, let the cap be an invisible part of the globe itself.”
The solution was to make the cap part of the globe itself – it is hidden, yet easier to handle than any other globe. A senior glassblower at the Polish glass factory suggested using an old forgotten machine that makes it possible to polish the edges of the globe and zero-tolerance cover. The lid becomes an integral invisible component, and at last it has perfected the globe concept. Completed with a transparent acrylic cross, the rest of the hanging structure and the electric cables are assembled in a single cord.
“If you want to shape an interior space with light, you really need an uncompromising light source. So it’s no wonder my dream was a globe as perfect as the full moon, with no shadows – just pure iridescent light,” says Alexander. His design career has produced bright surprises, with a glowing door handle and an incandescent suitcase; he has also illuminated 3D images of brain scans, all in that exciting space between art and design.
