Lunipse: Bringing the Moonlight to Your Dining Room

A Unique and Modern Lighting Design Inspired by Lunar Eclipse

The Lunipse lamp set features four spherical glass lampshades, each measuring 40x40x40 cm. The base material is blown glass, with LED lights located inside the glassy bubble for luminosity. The glass is wrapped with ultra-scratched steel, giving the lamps a modern and eye-catching appearance.

What sets the Lunipse design apart is its wider light diffusion and better illumination. The unique shape of the lampshades allows for a more even distribution of light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in your dining room.

The designers explain that the inspiration for Lunipse came from the refraction of sunlight by the Earth's atmosphere into the shadow cone during a lunar eclipse. They wanted to capture the ethereal beauty of this phenomenon and bring it into the home environment. The result is a design that not only provides functional lighting but also creates an emotional connection between the user and the moonlight.

The Lunipse lamp set was created in Tehran, with the project starting in September 2015 and finishing in January 2016. Throughout the design process, the team conducted research on the moon and space to conceptually inform the structural and emotional aspects of the project.

One of the main challenges the designers faced was finding a way to combine function and aesthetic beauty in a new concept of surface downlight. They wanted to create a design that not only looked visually appealing but also provided a unique lighting experience. The Lunipse lamp set successfully achieves this goal, offering both a modern and attractive design and a practical lighting solution.

The Lunipse design has received recognition for its creativity and ingenuity. In 2016, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding technical and creative skills, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its unique design inspired by lunar eclipse and its ability to bring the moonlight into your dining room, the Lunipse lamp set is a perfect addition to any modern and sophisticated home.
