Andromeda: A Stellar Suspension Lamp

WE DON'T DESIGN + Davide Lanfranco's Award-Winning Lighting Innovation

The name Andromeda is derived from the famous galaxy visible to the naked eye from Earth. The lamp's design is a tribute to the macroscopic and primordial beauty of light. The lamp's unique properties lie in its two different light sources - one directed to the bottom and one diffused to the top. These can be switched on or off separately, providing a versatile lighting experience.

The diffused light source is based on LED edge lighting technology, creating a starry sky effect with 170 different-sized holes scattered along the lower surface. The bottom light source, also based on LED technology, features an innovative interchangeable lens system. This system allows users to adjust the light beam and warmth in just a few seconds, adding to the product's flexibility.

The Andromeda lamp is not just about innovative lighting technology; it also boasts an exceptional design. The unibody structure, made from stainless steel, is incredibly resistant yet lightweight due to its low thickness. The lamp is finished with a special multilayer paint called Cosmic Black, reflecting the vastness of the Universe. The lamp's design and manufacturing quality truly embody the made-in-Italy ethos.

The project started in June 2017 in Marostica, in the North-East of Italy, and was completed in December 2017. The design team faced the challenge of creating a low-profile yet resistant structure that would work well with all components. Their efforts were rewarded when the Andromeda lamp was awarded Silver in A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award in 2018.

The Andromeda suspension lamp is a testament to the power of design and technology. It captures the essence of the galaxy it is named after, offering a unique and flexible lighting experience. With its innovative features and exceptional design, it is no surprise that it has been recognized with a prestigious design award.
