llll.01 — a minimal‑surface pendant with a  sculptural presence

llll.01 a single continuous gesture of hand‑bent metal wrapped in translucent knitted fabric, forming a soft minimal surface that shifts with every angle. Its geometry evokes a chalice‑like volume and reveals a surprising depth as the viewer moves around it — lines overlap, curves open and close, and the moiré pattern shimmers gently in the light.

The lamp is constructed by stretching a custom‑knitted textile (50% polyester, 50% stainless steel) over a precisely shaped frame. This creates a hollow, weightless volume that feels both organic and architectural. The fabric’s semi‑transparency allows the underlying structure to remain visible, giving the piece its characteristic sense of buoyancy.

A warm white LED strip is integrated along the inner edge of the frame, illuminating the lamp from within. This edge‑lighting technique produces a soft, even glow that enhances the layered textile and brings the moiré effect to life.

• The white/silver fabric is paired with a 2700K LED, offering a warm, neutral radiance.
• The gold‑toned fabric combines a 2300K LED with the textile’s golden tint, creating a deeper, atmospheric glow.

Because the fabric is knitted, subtle variations in pattern and density naturally occur. These irregularities are part of the material’s character and reflect the artisanal nature of the process. Despite its delicacy, the textile is durable and easy to maintain: dust can be removed with a vacuum cleaner on low suction, and marks can be treated with a mild textile cleaner.

llll.01 works beautifully as a single sculptural pendant or in multiples, where the interplay of curves and shadows becomes even more dynamic. Its quiet presence makes it suitable for both intimate residential spaces and larger architectural environments.
