Moon Light

A globe-shaped lamp of functional precision, innovative design and exceptional acoustics, Moon provides directed lighting quality of the highest order. Its shape and generous scale allow it to absorb both high- and low-frequency ambient noise effectively. “I’ve given a lot of thought to outer space and the Moon – to the kind of vacuum that exists there. A place with light, yet utterly silent,” remarks Bernstrand.

The outer layer of the globe is made from polyester felt and comes in a range of different colours. The felt covers a sound absorbing core, which is made from recycled PET.

In designing Moon, Bernstrand left nothing to chance. Following two years of development work, he worked closely with Abstracta’s product developers to arrive at a lamp whose shape not only produces really good lighting but maximises acoustic impact. The lamp’s housing consists of two acoustic felt blankets, each with its particular properties. And thanks to clever construction, even the air within the lamp serves as a sound-absorbing material. This results in exceptionally high acoustic performance, very low material consumption – and, thus, a very lightweight sound absorbing lamp.
