Fukla Pendant Light: A Practical and Aesthetic Lighting Solution

Designed by Nikolay Mihaylov

The Fukla pendant light is a unique and versatile lighting fixture that combines practicality, aesthetics, and ease of replacement. Designed by Nikolay Mihaylov, this innovative lampshade draped like a garment on a hanger offers a quick and easy way to change the atmosphere in any room.

With its simple yet distinctive form, the Fukla pendant light stands out among other lighting fixtures. The lampshade features decorative elements that allow light to pass through, creating an exciting play of light and shadow. Even when not illuminated, the Fukla pendant light remains visually interesting, making it a captivating addition to any space.

One of the key strengths of the Fukla pendant light is its versatility. It can be used as a standalone piece or in a group, allowing users to create unique lighting arrangements. The lampshade can be easily attached to the bulb without the need for tools, enabling users to quickly change and combine different lampshades with varying materials, colors, and decorations. This flexibility makes the Fukla pendant light suitable for a wide range of settings, from private homes to public buildings.

The Fukla pendant light is crafted using metal and plexiglass, with a CNC machine used to shape the lampshade and create the decorative elements. The result is a monolithic element that requires minimal assembly and maintenance. The absence of welds and mechanical components ensures a durable and easy-to-maintain product.

Measuring 200mm in width, 150mm in depth, and 300mm in height, the Fukla pendant light is designed to fit seamlessly into any space. Its compact size and sleek design make it a versatile lighting solution for various environments.

Depending on the choice of material, the Fukla pendant light allows users to control the direction and strength of the light. A metal lampshade directs the light downwards, creating a stronger illumination, while a plexiglass lampshade scatters the light in all directions, resulting in a softer and more ambient lighting effect. The lampshade's color variations and decorative elements further enhance the interplay of light and shadow, adding depth and atmosphere to the surroundings. Additionally, users have the option to customize the length of the cable, providing further flexibility in the installation and arrangement of the Fukla pendant light.

The Fukla pendant light project started in October 2016, with extensive research conducted to address the challenges of creating a practical, aesthetically pleasing, and easy-to-maintain lighting fixture. Nikolay Mihaylov's innovative design eliminates the need for complex assembly and ensures a low chance of defects. The attachment mechanism allows for quick and effortless replacement of the lampshade, making it accessible to users of all skill levels.

Recognized for its exceptional design, the Fukla pendant light was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category in 2023. This prestigious award honors well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Fukla pendant light's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contributes to a better world.

With its combination of functionality, aesthetics, and ease of use, the Fukla pendant light is a standout lighting solution that adds a touch of elegance and versatility to any space.
