FRESNEL LIGHTS BY DIRK VANDER KOOIJ
This hanging lamp of designer Dirk vander Kooij looks like a brilliant gold colored celestial body, but it’s a lamp made out of recycled synthetics and metal. The form is derived from the Fresnel lens – a special lens that concentrates light into a relatively narrow beam which is used in for instance lighthouses, searchlights and navigation lights. The shape causes the light out of the 360 led lights to be sent up and down. The layered structure diffuses the warm light so it’s not unpleasant to look into the lamp.Furthermore, the lamp is hung up on a cup-and-ball joint so one can aim it accurately.
