“I wanted to bring the sun inside, into the house and its space,” states Dutch designer Tord Boontje.
“Sun – Light of Love is an object that makes it hard to know where it begins and where it ends, like sunlight. It has no clear separation between inside and outside: a geometric presence, but very fluid and organic at the same time.”
Like the sun with its molten, unfathomable contours, the double lighting pendant lamp draws its inspiration from the magmatic surface of the sun.
The body, with a structure that is geometric and at the same time organic, is characterized by a cluster of rays enclosing the light source, allowing direct and indirect illumination.
The light is reflected, spreading into the space and at the same time irradiates surfaces below.
With its design characterized by an indefinite form and a strong personality, the lamp decorates the spaces in which it is inserted and makes them recognizable.
The luminaire involves multiple construction techniques, which together create Sun – Light of Love.
The lamp consists of a machined aluminum structure with diffusers in molded plastic material and electronic components.
The rays are cold-forged and mechanically grafted to the central body. All the metal details of the lamp are powder-coated in matt white or matt gold.
Sun – Light of Love decorates without ostentation, adding vivid personality to any setting with its geometric but simultaneously fluid, organic character.
