The Tip pendant light, designed by Tapio Anttila, is a stunning example of the fusion between tradition and innovation in the world of interior lighting. This unique LED light fixture combines the latest in LED technology with the timeless beauty of acrylic material.
The inspiration for the design came from the image of a drop hitting a surface just before it spreads out. This is reflected in the tip in the middle of the sheet, which adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the overall design.
One of the standout features of the Tip pendant light is its unique flat shape. The thin acrylic sheet, measuring 50 mm thick in the middle and tapering towards the edges, disperses light optimally, reflecting it not only downwards but also upwards. This creates a visually stunning effect and ensures that the light is evenly distributed throughout the space.
The Tip pendant light is made using thermal formed acrylic, a process that allows for the creation of complex shapes and ensures the durability of the final product. The diameter of the Tip pendant light measures 600 mm, making it suitable for a variety of interior spaces. In the future, the series will include a range of sizes, as well as floor and table versions, providing even more options for customization.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the Tip pendant light also boasts impressive ecological credentials. The LED technology used in the design has a longer life cycle compared to traditional energy-saving lights and consumes significantly less electricity. This makes it not only a visually striking choice but also an environmentally conscious one.
The Tip pendant light has already received recognition for its outstanding design. In 2011, it was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate innovation, practicality, and adherence to professional and industrial requirements.
By hanging a group of Tip pendant lights at different heights, you can create eye-catching furnishing elements for both home and public spaces. Whether used as a focal point in a living room or as a statement piece in a restaurant, the Tip pendant light is sure to impress with its unique design and exceptional lighting capabilities.
Tapio Anttila, the designer behind the Tip pendant light, has successfully merged tradition and innovation to create a truly remarkable lighting fixture. With its combination of LED technology, acrylic material, and elegant design, the Tip pendant light is a testament to the endless possibilities of modern interior lighting.
