DESIGN NAME: Leaf
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Pendant Light
INSPIRATION: As its name suggests, the shape of this pendant light was mainly influenced by palm leaves. The designer of this lamp created a form that gives a different impression from every viewing angle.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The aim of this unique shape is to make it a captivating and outstanding element of any room on its own. This effect gets emphasized depending on the light conditions because of the ever changing tones and colours of the pendant.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Due to the pendant’s elongated shape, it suits mostly rooms with higher interior Due to the pendant’s elongated shape, it best suits rooms with high interiors. The lamp itself creates a unique atmosphere in any room and it can also be emphasized by additional lighting (e.g. spot lights).
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project began in May 2018 in Budapest and finished in February 2019.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Lighting Products and Fixtures Design

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The basic shape of the lamp was born relatively quickly. However it needed months of research and development with countless prototypes to create its perfect balance and the best look from all possible angles. Experiments with 3D printing, vacuum casting and surface finishing technologies have also been performed to reach the desired quality and perfect assembly for the manufacturing of the product.
CHALLENGE: The primary challenge was the shape’s feasibility, easy assembly and the adaptability of the 3D printing technology to the pendant light family. During evolving, particular attention was paid to the clearness of the design and to covering the technical details and clasps.
