Overlapping Spherical Lights

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Shade Lamp Takes an Axial Form with Pivoting Translucent Domes

— January 23, 2015 — Art & Design
Purism in lighting is exercised quite creatively in the design of this overlapping spherical light. Consisting of a thin metal ring for a frame and a pair of dome-shaped diffusers, the ethereal fixture would become the focus of a room with its mysteriously modern form.

Johansen Faurschou's intriguing illuminator works in an unusual manner. While one of the glass semi-spheres is fixed in place, the other half can be rotated around on the hooped axis. This enables the glow of the lightbulb to escape fully through an open configuration, and causes it to dim increasingly behind one or two layers of the domes. This overlapping spherical light comes in a brown, blue and grey models.
Trend Themes
1. Creative Lighting Designs - The overlapping spherical light showcases a creative approach to lighting design, incorporating unique forms and materials.
2. Interactive Illumination - The rotating dome feature allows for interactive illumination, changing the intensity and direction of light based on user preference.
3. Minimalist Aesthetics - The thin metal ring frame and simple, sleek design of the overlapping spherical light aligns with the minimalist aesthetic trend in lighting fixtures.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - The overlapping spherical light offers a unique and visually striking lighting option for interior designers to incorporate into their projects.
2. Home Decor - With its modern and ethereal design, the overlapping spherical light can disrupt the home decor industry, appealing to consumers looking for distinctive lighting options.
3. Lighting Manufacturing - The innovative design of the overlapping spherical light presents an opportunity for lighting manufacturers to create new and differentiated products that stand out in the market.
