Italian illumination firm Slamp has introduced Goccia suspension pendant light designed by Stefano Papi. Goccia, or drop, interprets a drop of water using sinuous shapes carved from Slamp’s patented material, Opalflex -- a combination of polymers and additives that has the sheen of glass and the durability of plastic.
The material of which Slamp’s Goccia suspension pendant light is made also allows for a gradation of color. This effect further enhances the prismatic shine the light, and a water droplet, gives when caught by light. The Goccia pendant light is available in six colors aqua (blue), fire (orange), tetra (pink/yellow/blue), opal (purple/blue/orange/white), snow (white) and jet (black).
