IKEA PS 2014

Pendant Luminaire

The PS 2014 pendant luminaire was inspired by science fiction movies and video games. Its resemblance to a spaceship or an imploding planet yields a particular dynamic appeal. A simple mechanism changes the contour of the luminaire: pulling the strings changes the shape of the lamp shade as well as the intensity of the light. When closed, only a small amount of light finds its way out; when fully open, more light pours out and creates interesting light effects on the walls.

Statement by the jury

»The creative design of this pendant luminaire surprises with a mechanically simple but effective dimmer function.«
