Serpentine Light comprises
four S-shapes, twisted into cones
and fashioned together to create
an intricate spiralling shape.
A NATURAL AND CONTINUOUS FLOW
Serpentine Light, by Front, originated
from playing with a piece of paper,
discovering the limits of the different
shapes it could adopt. Inspiration
came from using the tension of
the paper itself, making the surface
flow naturally; without losing the
continuous flow. They realised the
twisting was made easier when using
an S-shape. The suspension light
comprises four S-shapes, twisted
into cones and fashioned together to
create an intricate spiralling shape.
The curves are outlined in a darker
colouration, as well as supported by
spokes, giving the design a pleasant
riveting effect. The flow and curve
of the material is very natural, coming
together in a mathematical way.
The design’s strong character and
illusion of perpetual movement makes
it fit a lot of different environments.
The lightweight material and the
space between each cone, makes
the Serpentine Light a very natural
and airy suspension light. It can be
easily multiplied in a larger space,
the illusion of perpetual movement
offering a fun and enchanting effect.
