Recently introduced by Schneid Enlightment of Northern Germany, the Eikon pendant lamp consists of a turned ash wooden head and a removable, interchangeable metal shade. The lampshades are powdercoated and attached with magnets.
The Eikon appears as a completed design, a lamp which connects esthetics and minimalist structures. But it is more than only “one“ lamp. It unifies numerous different lamps with its hidden magnet system. With only a small grip the lampshade can be changed and another colour or shape can be installed. This modular and flexible system can help to rearrange a room again and again according to requirements. Particularly for living in small spaces, this changeable light is a big win since its function is always adaptable. This way, we would like to counteract the throwaway society and make a contribution to sustainability. The additive system now waits for the production of further shapes and colors which are already under way.
