About the Item
This intricate pendant light is a celebrated example of Space Age design, attributed to Paul Secon for the German lighting manufacturer Sompex in the 1970s. Often referred to as a "String" or "Spiderweb" lamp, it merges mathematical precision with ethereal beauty.
The lamp creates a sculptural volume using minimal materials: a clear, geometric acrylic (Lucite) frame serves as the anchor for hundreds of taut nylon filaments. These strings are wrapped in a precise geometric pattern that creates a captivating moiré effect and beautiful shadow play when illuminated. With a diameter of 43 cm, this floating light sculpture is a perfect centerpiece for a modernist living room or hallway, offering a unique blend of transparency and structure.
