PENDULUM Designed by Dan Yeffet for CTO Lighting, PENDULUM is inspired by the timepiece, with its mesmerising and hypnotic qualities where balance and refinement are key elements in this collection. The carefully designed pieces of PENDULUM emanate light, which appears to oscillate in concentric bands from the light source, encased and diffused by the mouth-blown, curved glass. Contained within the circular hand blown glass shade is a core of LED diffused light providing an otherworldly lighting effect brought about by juxtaposing the curved reflective tinted glass with the light source. The brass disc is hand polished by artisans to achieve a satin finish, which perfectly punctuates the light, completing the exquisite design. The pendant and floor lights are supported by elegant, sculptured metalwork, creating an exquisite suspension, with the floor version grounded by a solid nero marquina marble base. The PENDULUM collection includes pendant, wall, and floor lights, and is available in either a satin brass or bronze finish.

In the realm of exquisite interior design, certain pieces transcend mere furniture to become true statements of artistry and inspiration.

Imagine the towering mountains that cradle the renowned coffee plantations of Antigua, their majestic peaks reaching skyward, overseeing the fertile plains where some of the world's most cherished coffee beans are cultivated. This profound natural grandeur serves as the muse, shaping the table's distinctive round forms and modular elegance.The design journey continues with a meticulous selection of materials that speak volumes of refined taste. A warm, circular body crafted from rich walnut provides a grounding presence, beautifully contrasted by the pristine, cool expanse of a Carrara marble tabletop. This interplay of textures and tones is further elevated by a delicate band of dark bronze stainless steel, a subtle yet striking accent that bestows a contemporary edge and sophisticated allure upon the piece. It’s a harmonious blend, where every curve and surface is thoughtfully considered."True design, much like a fine blend of coffee, awakens the senses and invites contemplation, transforming a space into a sanctuary of inspired living."Beyond its captivating aesthetics, this central table offers an ingenious versatility.

How do you distinguish a sustainable object from a non-sustainable one? It is not always easy to tell at first glance, especially when we have a lamp with a reduced size and impeccable lines. Oplight shows that technologically advanced products can be made with respect for the environment. Although the thicknesses are minimal, no glue was used to assemble the different parts. They can therefore be separated, replaced individually, and recycled separately depending on the material. Lightweight shell   First, the shell is made of die-cast aluminium, a lightweight, long-lasting material that is easy to recycle. The colour consists of powder coating, which does not require solvents in the painting process, because even the production methods are considered in the overall environmental impact. Highly efficient LED source   The LED source within Oplight is highly efficient, that is, it emits a large amount of light compared to the power consumed, with a lifetime of more than 50,000 hours. Should a malfunction occur, or later when more efficient light sources are available, the card can be replaced without having to discard the rest of the lamp, with significant savings in terms of resources.                                            This is possible because the LED card is not glued to the heat sink as usual, and its replacement does not require sophisticated equipment. Rather, it can be done by a regular electrician without bringing the lamp to the shop for upgrading.   Flexibility of diffusor   The diffusor, that is, the transparent cover that also acts as a lens, is made of injection-moulded polycarbonate. Due to its flexibility, it snaps on, so it can be removed to access the LED source and installed again without compromising the elasticity. If it should break, it can obviously be recycled and replaced.         For all these reasons, Oplight is a future-proof lamp destined to last a long time, and at the end, nothing is wasted.
