Malamata @ Luceplan
Luceplan introduced MALAMATA, a range of lamps that were named after the Hebrew word for "up and down", hinting at the designers' Israeli roots. MALAMATA's unique feature is its ability to take on various positions. "A light source, a counterweight, and motion to bind them together." says designers Kfir Schwalb and Orit Magia, working under Studio Shulab. Both grew up in Israel and studied design at the Bezalel Academy of design and arts in Jerusalem. Joined together, they provide "total design" and offer solutions that vary from industrial design, graphic design and space design.
Strike a pose
The light can be used in any position thanks to a counterweight in the form of a sphere. MALAMATA has a button that enables you quickly adjust to any direction. By pushing this button, a spring is activated, moving the counterweight down the lamp and thus changing the position of the diffuser.
High-end materials
The diffusers are made in blown opal glass. The particular feature of this family (apart from its movement) is the large size of the diffuser available (48 cm). It is also available in a smaller 22 cm version, suited to the pendant model and wall-fixed and floor lamps. The larger size (48cm) is one of the most oversized diameters possible using blown glass
Besides the pendant design, MALAMATA is available in a wall- and floor lamp versions. The diffuser is glazed, and the body of the fixture's colours are brushed brass and opaque black.
