Plant Pod-Inspired Pendant Lights

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sujeet Kakad Designs the Nature Inspired Pendant Light

— September 8, 2024 — Art & Design
Designer Sujeet Kakad is the creative mind behind the very straightforward Nature Inspired Pendant Light. Within the namesake, the influence and concept are stated as it fuses a blend of organic curves and visibility of the plant fruit pod nestled inside of a husk.

This also meets the standards of an aesthetically pleasing design to create an actual product that can align with the original idea. The top cover is crafted from an aluminum sheet base and there is a glass globe that is holding the LED light inside with more steel rods that create more of a supportive structure around it. At the bottom of the light is a leather cord that is detailed with tassels to form a natural look.
