Pendant Light East: Combining Oriental Elegance with Modern Design

A Unique Blend of Tradition and Innovation

Inspired by the beauty of natural forms, designers Ksenia Leonovich and Daria Khandzhi have created Pendant Light East, a stunning piece that combines the elegance of oriental design with modern trends in lighting. This pendant light is not only a functional lighting fixture but also a work of art that adds a touch of sophistication to any space.

Pendant Light East draws its inspiration from the intricate structure of flowering plants. According to Ksenia Leonovich, "Natural forms, natural in its essence, is a perfect sample of design morphogenesis. In my opinion, almost any flowering plant, or rather its structure, could be a prototype of the most avant-garde as well as the most simple lamp. It possesses everything: the stem - the rod, inflorescence - diffusers or reflectors, and stamen - light sources."

What sets Pendant Light East apart from other lighting designs is its unique combination of oriental elegance and modern aesthetics. The pendant light is crafted from a brass diffuser with notches diverging from the center, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The diffuser covers thirteen Edison bulbs, which resemble the petals of a flower, forming a captivating pistil-candle. The pendant is supported by a bent metal tube painted in rust, adding a touch of industrial charm to the overall design.

With a diffuser diameter of 700 mm and a tube diameter of 80 mm, Pendant Light East is a statement piece that demands attention. Its length of 1500 mm allows for versatile placement, making it suitable for various spaces and heights. The pendant light is not only visually appealing but also functional, with dimmable bulbs that allow for creating the perfect ambiance.

Pendant Light East was specially designed for Flower Boutique, located in the heart of Moscow. It was created to fit seamlessly into the boutique's interior, combining elegance and a touch of brutality. The designers aimed to produce a design that not only follows the latest trends but also stands out as a unique piece of art.

The creation of Pendant Light East came with its fair share of challenges. One of the main hurdles was bending the metal tube of such thickness, as well as placing thirteen E27 patrons on it. However, through their creativity and technical expertise, the designers overcame these obstacles and brought their vision to life.

Recognized for its outstanding design, Pendant Light East was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2016 in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.

With its blend of tradition and innovation, Pendant Light East is not just a lighting fixture but a true work of art. Its captivating design and unique combination of materials make it a perfect fit for modern loft interiors, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space.
