Orbit has the rounded, self contained shape that defined mid century ceiling lighting, and it reads as an object in the room whether or not it is switched on.
Orange is the colour the era is remembered for, and it still does what it always did, warming a room and giving a neutral kitchen one point to build around.
Green is the quieter alternative for a room that wants the shape without the statement, and every colour sits comfortably in a contemporary space.
Orbit is a retro pendant lamp with the rounded, self-contained shape that defined mid-century ceiling lighting: a form that reads as an object first and a light fitting second, and one that looks considered whether it happens to be switched on or not.
There are three colours. Orange is the one the era is remembered for, and it does now what it always did, warming a room and giving an otherwise neutral kitchen a single point of confidence to build around. Green is the quieter alternative, closer to the olive and sage tones that sit easily with wood and pale plaster. White lets the shape do all the work without the colour, which suits a room that already has plenty going on elsewhere and needs nothing more than the silhouette to finish it off.
Hung over a kitchen counter or a breakfast table it sits near eye level and becomes part of the room's furniture rather than a fitting that is only ever noticed in passing on the way somewhere else. The enclosed shade pushes light downward onto the surface rather than out across the room, so it gives genuine working light for cooking and eating as well as character.
Three, with orange as the signature retro choice and green as the quieter option for a room that wants the shape without the statement.
The shape has been in continuous use since the middle of the last century, so it reads as considered rather than as a costume piece.
Over a dining table or a kitchen counter, where its rounded form has air around it and can be seen as a whole.
It concentrates light on the surface below, so pair it with softer lamps elsewhere if you want the whole room lit evenly.
Yes. Two of the same colour over a longer table look deliberate, and the rounded shape spaces well without crowding.
