Moon eclipses inspired Ferréol Babin for creating Lunaire wall lamp for Italy’s FontanaArte. The lamp has a surprising light effect that reminds of the moon eclipses when it passes into the earth’s shadow. How is it done? A smaller front disc containing the light source is set inside a large concave aluminum diffuser. Two different effects are possible depending on how the small disc is positioned with respect to the diffuser: back lighting when the front disc is closed. By simply pulling or pushing on the rod on the front of the disc it immediately changes the lighting effect. The design is minimalist and very stylish: black and white always look great together and are suitable for many spaces.
