Patera Pendant Lamp
Made by Louis Poulsen
The Patera Pendant Lamp is a spherical pendant that emits a glare-free glow of light, which is reflected by the small diamond shaped cells that comprise the fixture. The lamp's structure ensures that the light is glare-free from above 45 degrees while also allowing the fixture to emit a downwardly directed light as well as an upward radiance, illuminating the ceiling to lend further ambiance to its
surroundings. Each cell shapes the light by creating soft transitions between direct and reflected light to emphasize the pendant's remarkably radiant sphere. Whether it hangs alone or in rows, the Patera stands out.
The Patera lamps were designed by Danish designer, Øivind Slaatto., who based the design on the mathematics of the Fibonacci sequence. Slaatto is recognized for his simple and poetic solutions. Nature is his most important source of inspiration. He has worked with everything from speakers and cars to furniture and light fixtures. Developing lighting solutions is a specialty area and a great passion for Slaatto, who has a natural affinity for light and therefore seeks to optimize the experience of light and ambience.
