MOSS Objects — an independent lighting brand based in Berlin — has introduced The Emily pendant to Gestalt New York's product line. This chic luminaire was designed by Daniel Becker, and the design of the piece treats light as a spatial-shaping element rather than a purely functional necessity.
MOSS Objects' fixture is built on a modular system, meaning it can be configured from a single pendant up to curated multi-light groupings. This allows the same design language to adapt across different room sizes and applications while maintaining visual consistency. The aesthetic emphasizes structural clarity and sculptural restraint, drawing from natural geometry but translating it into engineered, undecorated forms that prioritize proportion, balance, and material precision.
The emphasis on quiet definition allows for MOSS Objects' Emily pendant to seamlessly integrate into various settings.

- Light as Spatial Element
- Lighting conceived primarily for shaping volume and perception rather than mere illumination, influencing how interiors are organized and experienced.
- Minimalist Sculptural Fixtures
- The move toward undecorated, geometry-driven forms that prioritize proportion, balance, and material precision for a refined aesthetic statement.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Hospitality Design
- Boutique hotels and restaurants that value cohesive visual narratives and adaptable lighting systems for scalable guest experiences.
- Office Architecture
- Commercial workspaces where spatially intentional lighting can redefine circulation, collaboration zones, and occupant well-being.
- High-end Residential Interiors
- Luxury homes seeking sculptural, design-forward fixtures that function as architectural elements and personalized statements.
