The 'Orbit' pendant is initially inspired by the planetary orbits around the sun. The sun in this case is a LED illuminated glass globe , encased by the metal frame work which serves to contain as well as protect the glass and light source while aesthetically giving context for the glass globe by emphasizing its shape, as if the metal cage is gravitationally hanging off the globe while once again referencing the orbital trajectories around the sun.
Made from CNC (Computer numerical control) bent steel wire, the fixture is available in a number of different finishesfrom black and white textured powder coat and decorative metal plating such as gold and Chrome. The fixture is illuminated by a energy efficient high output dim-able LED light source with a hight 91 CRI light quality and available in both warm and neutral white colour temperatures. Featuring a Opalescent hand blown white glass globe, while finished with a nylon braided electrical cord.
From an aesthetic point of view I wanted to create a modern take on the iconic globe fixture, with the addition of personality provided by the metal work the fixture remains refined.
