Angle 3.0 Pendant
SkLO

SHORTLIST PRODUCT DESIGN | Lighting Design

Product Description

The Angle 3.0 Pendant is a large and serene pendant light, consisting of an airy brass geometry supporting minimal handblown glass diffusers. It offers the wide variety of glass colors and finish options that SkLO is known for. The hand blown glass diffusers are available in 9 different colors and textures. The solid brass hardware is available in four different finishes. The stems are cut-to-order to meet customer overall height specifications.

Product Concept

An interest in developing a series of pendants meant for large spaces led us to an exploration of long tubular brass armatures that support minimal arrangements of lit hand blown glass diffusers.

These lights are meant to be calm, stately, serene. Our goal was lights that were at once large, yet ethereal, airy, and minimal. This simple design brief required extensive detailing of the brass structures to solve fundamental functional requirements, but the result is a beautiful language of custom brass joints and hardware that add elegance and distinctive quality and artisan craftsmanship to each Angle Pendant.

An important aspect of the design is that the Angle Pendants are planar in composition, reducing their complexity so they present as distinct objects rather than chaotic compositions. Suspended in a large space, they will change in their aspect as one views them from different places in the room.

At SkLO, our work is an expression of craft. Unlike machine-made glass, SkLO handblown glass varies in its thickness from one piece to the next. This creates a range of variation in the weights of the diffusers, and this subtle variation in weight allows each Angle Pendant to hang freely from a custom joint, allowing each to have a slightly different aspect, expressing its craft and imbuing each with personality.

The Angle 3.0 Pendant is a long series of zig-zag lines suspended delicately from a single point. Three spherical lit hand blown glass diffusers of different sizes are arranged carefully along its length.
