M-lamp: Illuminating Spaces with Abstract Elegance

Anastassiya Leonova's Unique Ceiling Lamp

Anastassiya Leonova, a talented designer, has created the M-lamp, a stunning ceiling lamp that combines abstract design with emotional appeal. Inspired by the shape of a Mobius band, the M-lamp adds a touch of celestial beauty to any space. Handcrafted with care, each lamp is a unique piece of art that exudes elegance and sophistication.

The M-lamps are made using a meticulous process that involves bending layers of plywood by hand. These layers are then polished and covered with walnut veneer and lacquer, resulting in a luxurious finish. The lamps are embedded with a hidden LED strip under an acrylic cover, creating a soothing white ambiance of light. The three different forms of the M-lamp tell a captivating story to its owner, adding a touch of intrigue to any room.

Measuring at 550mm in width, 200mm in depth, and 470mm in height, the M-lamp is a statement piece that commands attention. Its unique shape and warm lighting create a captivating visual experience that is sure to impress.

Leonova's journey in creating the M-lamp was not without its challenges. Finding a skilled woodworker who could bring her vision to life was a hurdle she had to overcome. After numerous prototypes and experiments, she finally found a carpentry shop in Almaty that agreed to produce the lamps.

The M-lamp made its debut in 2015 at the Salone Satellite Moscow exhibition and later showcased at the London Design Fair - Tent London in 2016. Its innovative design and exceptional craftsmanship have garnered recognition, earning it the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in 2018 in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category.

Anastassiya Leonova's M-lamp is not just a lighting fixture; it is a work of art that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. Its abstract design and emotional appeal make it a truly unique piece that stands out in the world of design.
