Boon's fascination with the relationship between light and shadow, form and reflection, has led to the creation of the Stanley collection. The Stanley 2701 pendant light, a part of this collection, is a monolithic architecture that emits a soft and pleasant light, reminiscent of the mysterious black monolith in Stanley Kubrick's film. The simple and pure lines of the Stanley collection perfectly embody Boon's philosophy of creating objects that are both functional and aesthetic.
The Stanley 2701 pendant light stands out for its unique geometry, which allows for direct downlighting and indirect side lighting. Made from recyclable aluminium, the light is environmentally friendly. Even when switched off, the 45 cm high lamp offers a beautiful play of light and shadow throughout the day. When lit, soft, gradient lines of light appear on the side surfaces. The Stanley pendant light can be used alone or in groups, forming a harmonious path of light, perfectly balanced in the space.
Constructed from black anodized aluminum for optimum weight, the luminaire has been designed without any welding points, giving the impression of a monolithic shape. The whole unit is held together by an invisible screw system. The matt, anodized finish evokes a mineral texture. The powerful LEDs integrated into the heart of the blades create a perfect symbiosis between the design and the light source.

The pendant light has been designed to provide both direct downlighting and indirect side lighting. It gives off a pleasant, soft light that creates a warm and friendly atmosphere in your home. The lightness of its volumes gives the illusion of floating in a mysterious, almost magical way.
The Stanley 2701 pendant light project started in October 2018 and finished in June 2019 in Luxembourg. The luminaire has been designed with particular attention to its unique geometry, which has allowed for a variety of designs and lighting with the same geometric concept, resulting in the Stanley collection. The suspension is very light and manufactured without welding points using a complex mounting system that allows easy access to the light source, and easy repair if necessary, making it a durable pendant light.
The Stanley 2701 pendant light was awarded Silver in A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award in 2022. This award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. These designs, admired for their strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, showcase a remarkable level of excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
