LightSpace by Jade Doel, a product and furniture designer based in Dunedin, New Zealand, is a visually striking pendant lamp that might be manmade, but beautifully embodies the essence of nature. Warm and expansive, it stretches above a room like a constellation of stars. Nevertheless, the light fixture doesn't try to hide its true nature. Instead, it embraces it with a satellite-like aesthetic that is just as captivating as the night sky.
Ideal for dining rooms, LightSpace by Jade Doel not only establishes a welcoming ambiance, it also serves as an acoustic dampener for table conversation. Made out of American ash, industrial wire cabling as well as acrylic and Echopanel LED segments, the designer likens it to a person: "It can be soft, warm, direct and even flashy."
