Illan - The Pendant Luminaire
Brought to life by the creativity of Zsuzsanna Horvath, the Pendant Luminaire, fondly known as Illan, has been recognized at the Red Dot Award for exquisite Product Design in 2021.
The Vibrant Luminaire Design
At the core of Illan's design is a lampshade crafted with precision from a special thin plywood. The characteristic feature of the wood, reacting to airflows, brings out an enchanting wave-like movement. This delicate undulation is what brings Illan to life, offering a soothing visual experience for anyone who witnesses it.
Genius at Play
The mind behind Illan, Zsuzsanna Horvath, experimented with laser cutting on diverse materials including wood and paper. The concept employs thinly cut lines which weave together the magic of the lamp. Consequently, these thin lines become the source of unique qualities seen in Illan: the remarkable translucency, stellar flexibility, and the gentle movement of the lamp.
Illan’s Origin
The innovative lighting solution of Illan was brought to life by the renowned Italian manufacturer, Luceplan Lighting, under the expert design implementation of Zsuzsanna Horvath from Denmark.
