The Olo Pendant Lamp is a testament to the power of inspiration. The design was sparked by a connector Maurice L. Dery had designed for another light. The result? A unique, bullet-shaped light that stands out in the crowd. It's not just the shape that's impressive - the Olo is interchangeable with the mini fuse light, adding to its uniqueness and versatility.
Creating the Olo Pendant Lamp was a meticulous process. The lamp is crafted using solid billet aluminum and solid cast acrylic rod. The parts were first drafted out in Auto Cad, and computer numerical control programs were then written for a CNC lathe. The aluminum parts are anodized in silver or light gold to resemble brass, and the illumination uses a micro LED G4 bipin bulb.
Despite its intricate design, the Olo Pendant Lamp is easy to operate. It's a low-voltage light that can be powered up using a 12V magnetic dimmable driver. The light is 88.9mm high and 38.1 mm in diameter, making it a compact yet powerful source of illumination.
The journey from concept to completion was not without its challenges. The design team had to figure out how to make the top and bottom caps connect to the diffuser, and how to connect the socket to the light. But the result was worth the effort - a unique, custom-designed light that's as functional as it is beautiful.
The Olo Pendant Lamp is a shining example of innovation in lighting design. It's a testament to the power of inspiration, the importance of meticulous craftsmanship, and the potential of technology to create something truly unique. And with its prestigious Silver A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award, it's clear that the design community agrees.
