Centred around the Latin word for ‘always’, Semper’s shifting form and changeable lighting effects is representative of the seasonal movement and varying light levels of the Sun's path. Inviting change with its tilting layers, Semper caters for multi-tasking modern spaces and passes the curation of home lighting to the hands of the user.
Handcrafted from sustainably sourced ash, oak or walnut wood, the Semper design features a centralised, cylindrical wooden frame secured by a solid brass axis and two rotating outer timber layers. Adaptable and intuitive by design, the versatile Semper Pendant Small can be positioned to eclipse its bulb by aligning all three layers in a horizontal ‘drum’ formation to create dramatic downlighting, or angled to guide focused beams of light by tilting each section to release a bright, directional display wherever you need it.
Well suited as a standalone centrepiece, or as a self-curated constellation for greater impact. This clever wooden drum lampshade is available in two sizes and will create a beautiful ambience in hallways, bedrooms and living spaces alike.
Take control. Embrace change. Surprise your space.
