A stripped-down design that lets the material speak for itself. Svala RAW brings an industrial edge with its raw, untreated finish – bold, timeless, and full of character.
Simple but obvious
Over the years, Stefan Borselius and Thomas Bernstrand have worked together on various notised furniture design projects. Now they are once again making a common product, but this time in the service of lighting and have designed our new discreet pendant luminaire Svala. “We wanted to create a pendant luminaire that is as simple as it is obvious. Above the light source, a sheet of aluminum balances which makes the luminaire float easily over the table, like a swallow.”
Material & design
The slightly bent aluminum screen gives a discreet and floating expression at the same time as it clearly controls the light down on the work surface.
