New Works Tense Pendant Lamp

The New Works Tense Pendant Lamp is a sewn Tyvek membrane held taut by carbon rods, and light passes through the material rather than bouncing off it, so the whole shade glows evenly, the crinkled surface comes forward, and the shade reads as a soft cloud overhead. Unlit it is close to weightless, a large pale form that floats rather than hangs. Panter & Tourron designed it for New Works in 2020.

Four sizes, and the one to choose depends on how much of the room you want it to take. The smallest works as a soft accent over a bedside or a reading corner. The largest spans nearly four feet and becomes the thing the room arranges itself around. Several of the smaller shades hung together drift as a composition rather than reading as one fixture. The shade clicks onto the cord with magnets, and the dimmable LED is already inside, warm at 2700K.
