PEEL by Taisei from japan
designer's own words:
The concept is a pendant lighting that cuts off the moment when an apple skin is peeled off. Since the part of the peel of the apple has become a shade, it leaks light like indirect lighting. In other words, the light from the gap of the spiral shade, gently illuminates the room. Furthermore, as the gap is evenly opened up and down, left and right, the structure is such that heat is not likely to stick. This lighting consists of three kinds of parts: shade, bulb, socket & cord, and the assembly process is very simple. The shade is made from aluminum as it is soft to bend and ease to processing metallic. The aluminum plate is bended with a bending roll machine, to make the spiral of this shade. In addition, the aluminum is processed as alumite treatment to make vivid red like an apple peel on the surface. The appearance of lighting blends harmoniously with fashionable living room or dining room as interior decoration. As a variation, there are various PEEL lightings made from different materials such as wood or glass. You can simply remodel your room by using PEEL made from different materials according to the style of the room.
