The lighting usually ensures that you get enough light at all times. Lighting fixtures have now become more than just light sources. Nowadays, lights are used in the home not only to illuminate rooms, but also as an element of interior design. That's why lamps in every shape, color and size are available on the market. Architects Alessandro Mattei and Caterina Naglieri from the Italian studio Plato Design recently designed a series of pendant lights made of wood and concrete. These are several small lamps that can be assembled using magnets on the sides. This creates a modular lighting system that impresses with its original design and great functionality. In this article we present the TWELVE pendant lights made of wood and concrete from Plato Design!
The designers of the collection named it Twelve because the design of the lamps has the shape of a dodecahedron. The dodecahedron is a geometric body with twelve faces, all of which are regular pentagons. However, what is special about these hanging lamps is not what they areFormalone, but rather their magnetic sides that can be put together. In this way, the individual pendant lights become a whole system that can be expanded as desired. In addition to each other, the lamps can also be attached to other magnetic surfaces, such as a shelf or the refrigerator.
Another advantage is that they can be aligned as desired. However, this is only possible if two or more lamps are connected. This is due to the special geometric shape, which consists of several pentagons. For this reason, the designers decided on a total of three magnetic surfaces per lamp. This means you can adapt your modular lighting system to your own needs.
As far as colors and materials are concerned, the Twelve pendant lights are made of wood and concrete. You can choose between both looks or combine them in the interior. TheConcrete lookharmonizes perfectly with the light wood, creating a beautiful lighting system. The black cable of the pendant lights contrasts with the entire design and adds a touch of industrial charm.
The special pendant lightsfit every area of the home and every furnishing style. The number of lamps that make up the lighting system can vary. In small rooms and for different purposes, a single pendant light made of concrete or wood can be the right solution. However, the more lights are connected, the more original the entire lighting fixture looks.
