Pendant lamp Dashed Light

brassstainless steelcontemporary

The name of this series of lights is inspired by the 'dashed line'. This dashed line is often used in design processes and represents cutting and (in this case) folding lines. When the light is on, it 'leaks' through the dotted lines to the outside, creating a special play of light. The Dashed Lights are available in a coloured stainless steel and a solid brass version. The Dashed Lights have been part of the Vij5 collection since 2013. The idea to include the Dashed Lights in our collection found its origin in the workshop of one of our steel manufacturers. We saw rough versions of the lamps in one of his cabinets and found it a shame that such a beautiful and well designed product was not yet available on the market. So we contacted Léon, the designer of the lamp, and invited him to our studio to discuss a possible collaboration. It turned out to be a perfect match: these relatively smaller lamps are a nice addition to the Vij5 collection and Léon was happy with this fresh attention to his design! We had nothing more to add to the design of the lamps, and as you can read above, we didn't have to look for a suitable producer anymore! However, together with Léon we made a selection from the different versions he had designed and determined a colour palette that matched the Vij5 collection. Later we introduced a pure brass version in addition to the original coated stainless steel version. This material gives a bright, somewhat yellow colour to the light.
