Ross Lovegrove’s latest light design resembles a sea creature floating in the ocean. The “Andromeda” is a LED pendant lamp for Japanese lighting brand Yamagiwa.

Described as an artificial structure for capturing artificial light, the Andromeda consists of clusters of LEDs embedded at the cross points of the hard polyurethane foam form. Mirror reflectors within the structure are magnetically attached to allow for flexibility and adjusting the angles. The mirrors are orientated such to maximise the output and distribution of the light.

Andromeda emerges from the concept of “netification”, which implies the reduction of physical mass through selective perforations across a pre-defined form. As both a lighting and decorative feature, Andromeda would work equally well in public and private spaces, easily adapting itself to create the ideal ambience.
