Kona Lamp
The KONA family of lamps consists of two basic elements, namely the pendant version and the wall sconce version.
The pendant version stems from the desire to create a sensitive, extremely light object whose simplicity could hide its considerable size.
Minimalism is reflected in the shapes, but especially in the choice of using a fabric strip as a cable grommet but also as a supporting system.
This element, seen from the front appears slender and almost invisible, while seen from the side it becomes one with the thickness of the lamp.
The Lamp has a bent aluminum body 130cm long x 4cm section, the central section is dictated by the thickness of the band, while at the ends the section is reduced, creating a delicate and light effect.
The same shape is reflected in the rosette, which is deliberately off-center from the main body, to break the classic patterns of total symmetry of these pendant objects. The lamp thus appears to be totally out of balance, but at the same time in perfect equilibrium.
Inside the rosette is housed an ingenious system of pulleys designed by Emporium, which makes the installation and eventual maintenance of the lamp extremely easy.
The rosette in fact, thanks to magnets, remains integral to the ceiling hooks, but can be quickly moved to be able to adjust the height of the lamp. The sconce version, smaller in size (height 40cm) features the same technology and finishes as the suspension.
The driver is remote to allow a minimalist design that is perfectly aligned with the suspension. Wall attachment is super simple, and indirect wall light creates poetic and delicate plays of light.
Both lamps mount 4000K LEDs, the KONA suspension lamp has a consumption of 40W, with a real output of 4750 lumens, while the KONA wall sconce lamp has a consumption of 5.5W and an output of 850 lumens. The driver of the wall sconce version is external to the lamp body.
