The shade is constructed from a sprayed cocoon material that hugs its spinning steel frame for a lightweight, cloud-like appearance that appears as though weightless. While a direct light is emitted through openings at the top and bottom of the lamp, the intricate shade material acts as a diffuser as light escapes to cast a soft illumination and warm, pleasant glow. The Strand pendant light – open is certain to bring a sense of calm, comfort and harmony to any contemporary home as it floats elegantly above your dining table, living room or hallway for a sense of ease and calm. Available in three sizes. The Strand pendant is the first creation for Muuto from the famous British designer, Benjamin Hubert. Poetic and organic, the Strand pendant is the result of a remarkable piece of work using material, shape and volume. The lampshade is made with a "cocoon" resin sprayed onto a fine steel frame. This quasi-"organic" surprising material at once evokes the lightness of a fabric that's been frozen, the warm texture of paper, the chrysalis of a butterfly in the making. Through transparency, the steel frame forms delicate vertical geometric patterns. The fibrous translucent material filters the light for a diffuse, warm and comfortable lighting. When lit, the Strand pendant creates a fanciful atmosphere in the space, with a real emotional force. The Strand pendant provides lighting that is both diffuse and direct, via its upper and inner openings. The Strand collection is available in a set of spherical, simple, natural and organic forms. These evanescent and soft shapes decorate the space with their pure and original presence.
