Luna Lamp XL

The glass globe is one of the most familiar archetypes in lighting.

For Lervik, the problem was everything that usually came with it: plastic caps, visible fittings, cable connections and technical components that interrupted the purity of the sphere.

With Luna, the challenge was therefore not to add more, but to remove as much as possible.

The result is a pendant in which the globe itself becomes the protagonist, while the technical construction recedes visually.

Luna demonstrates a side of minimalism that is easy to overlook: simplicity is rarely the absence of work.

Often, it takes more engineering to make the engineering disappear.
