Lodes | Volum

Poetry and technical complexity make Volum, the glass pendant lamps designed by Snøhetta for Lodes, an evocative and highly functional lighting project

From the first collaboration between the international studio Snøhetta and the company Lodes, comes Volum, a series of blown glass lamps that includes four spheres in different sizes – with diameters of 14, 22, 29 and 42 cm – capable of complementing each other.

Their pleasantly imperfect shapes, with a soft and clean design, hide careful construction details. Such as the 45° cut of the glass in its upper part, which allows for closure with a translucent methacrylate cap that conceals the light source and seals the lamp. The diffuser and mount merge into a homogeneous, continuous structure, in which the transparent cable seems to blend into space. Meanwhile, the glossy white finish creates evocative reflections that illuminate the space at 360° without interruptions.
