Trendwatch : Casting a Shadow

Influenced by traditional Moroccan and Ottoman lighting, designers are bringing a new concept to contemporary lighting design by casting their shadow. We have hand-selected designs that exceed the notion of mood lighting and move into a space 3-Dimensionally to frame the entire room.

The shadow becomes the identity of the lamp, and projects on the walls – the finished work, like an artist’s signature.

 

The milky way lamps, design by Dennis Parren are pendant lamps that projects lines of colors, and with a spin the Milky way appears in motion.
