La-De-Da pendant light by Nightworks Studio
Dezeen Showroom: intending to be both playful and elegant, this pendant light by New Zealand brand Nightworks Studio was designed in reference to automotive manufacturing.
The La-De-Da light features thin, curved aluminium fins that aim to disrupt the straight lines found in architecture.
It was designed according to an exploration into automotive manufacturing techniques – Nightworks Studio found that sheet metal pressed into waved layers can create a sculptural object that encourages interplay between light and shadow.
The shade can be finished with a curated range of matt colours or high-shine metal finishes, and harbour a specially-made glass globe containing the bulb, which sits in the middle of the fixture like a pearl.
Nightworks says the reflective Chrome finish is particularly interesting, as it enhances the liquid-like look of the rippled metal and tricks the eye into seeing the globe as a full sphere.
La-De-Da is available in two sizes – the larger is designed to serve as a strong centrepiece above a table, while the smaller can be hung in clusters or placed in more compact settings.
