CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Seeing a sky full of stars should not be a privilege. Growing up in a heavily polluted city, seeing the starry night in Joshua Tree National Park was an unforgettable experience for the designer. Starfall outdoor pendant aims to recreate the awe-inspiring experience of seeing a sky full of stars for the users.

Starfall pendant works with wind to create memorable starry night effects. The inner perforated brass tube projects starry light effects onto the outer recycled polyethylene tube. The inner tube is fixed in place, while the outer tube hangs from the top of the light fixture and moves subtly and elegantly with the breeze. The subtle movement in the outer tube allows the star projection to flow, creating a magical and transforming starry night, while the downlight provides a steady light source for general usage.

PROJECT SPECS:

Starfall pendant is 16.5 inches in height and 6 inches in diameter. The outer shell is made from recycled polyethylene tube and the inner structure is made from perforated brass tube. To generate the starry light effect, Starfall pendant utilizes a tubular light bulb with LED filaments inside. While the pendant showcases the starry effect from the side, it also generates soft downlight through a diffuser toward the bottom of the brass tube.
