Berlin, Germany
Lighting brand MOSS Objects presents the Dune collection, a modular pendant luminaire designed by Daniel Becker that transforms illumination into an architectural statement.
Conceived as a scalable system rather than a single fixture, Dune combines individually formed aluminium shades into flowing compositions that adapt to a wide range of interiors, from intimate residential settings to expansive hospitality and commercial environments.
The collection is defined by its modular structure, allowing between four and twenty aluminium shades to be connected into a single lighting composition.
Available in five distinct configurations — Curve, Cluster, Spiral, Vertical Line, and Vertical Cluster — Dune offers designers and specifiers the flexibility to tailor installations according to the scale and character of a space.
Whether suspended above a dining table, cascading through a stairwell, or occupying a multi-storey atrium, each configuration maintains the same sculptural identity and visual continuity.
Every shade in the Dune series is handmade in Berlin, Germany, using formed aluminium sheet. The shaping process creates a softly curved geometry that captures and reflects light across its surface, producing a dynamic sense of movement.
Inspired by the fluid contours of desert landscapes, the design avoids sharp edges in favour of continuous transitions that echo the natural formation of dunes.
Connected at their outermost points, the aluminium segments create a seamless rhythm of light that appears to expand and contract within the surrounding architecture.
Dune is offered in five finishes: Silver Anodised, Silver Polished, Gold Tone, Copper Tone, and Dark Bronze Tone.
The silver finishes emphasise the purity of aluminium and reinforce the collection’s architectural quality, while the warmer metallic tones introduce a softer atmosphere suited to residential and hospitality interiors.
Custom finishes are also available, enabling architects and interior designers to develop site-specific solutions.
The versatility of the collection is central to its appeal. Curve compositions are ideal for lower ceilings and dining areas, while Cluster arrangements create chandelier-like focal points with greater visual density.
Spiral and Vertical Cluster configurations are designed for large-volume spaces such as hotel lobbies and atriums, where their vertical presence becomes part of the architecture itself.
Vertical Line offers a minimalist alternative for stair voids and double-height spaces, functioning almost like a sculptural floor lamp suspended from above.
According to Daniel Becker, founder of MOSS Objects, the project was conceived as “a complete language rather than a single product.”
This philosophy is reflected in the collection’s ability to grow and evolve with different architectural contexts while retaining a coherent visual identity.
The integrated LED lighting system, available with Triac, DALI, or 0-10V drivers, further enhances its suitability for professional specification projects across residential, retail, hospitality, and public environments.
Dune’s innovative approach to modular lighting has already been recognised internationally with the iF Design Award 2025, highlighting its balance of technical precision and sculptural expression.
About MOSS Objects
MOSS Objects is an independent lighting brand focused on creating architectural luminaires that combine structural clarity with sculptural restraint.
The company approaches light as a spatial element rather than a purely functional necessity, designing systems that bring quiet presence through balance, proportion, and refined material detailing.
Working with materials such as aluminium, brass, steel, and oak, MOSS Objects develops modular lighting solutions that can evolve and adapt while maintaining visual consistency.
Each piece is produced through collaborations with skilled makers, ensuring precision craftsmanship and long-lasting quality.
