Sputnik Light

Sputnik Light

1957 – the launch of a new era. Inspired by the first artificial satellite, this lamp brings the cosmos to life through light and shadow.

Five spring-steel wires run freely through the aluminium body, guided at the centre by small brass sliders. These create a subtle preload, allowing the lamp head to be positioned at any height through friction alone.

A 180° rotation of the head reverses the light direction entirely – from ceiling to floor, from ambient glow to focused beam. One object, two orientations, endless possibilities.
