A couple of years ago Piero Gandini showed me a new LED technology which consists of a ring of LEDs that send light sideways into the edge of a flat composite disc of translucent white material which, when lit, appears to be a flat white disc. Superloon is the answer to the question of what to do with this intriguing technology. Mounting the disc on a gyroscopic axis allows the light to be directed in infinite directions, while the light it gives out is broad and diffused but can be dimmed to a soft glow. ~Jasper Morrison
It’s the moon archetype to inspire once again Jasper Morrison in his new floor lamp Superloon. An impressive flat disc placed on three stems and rotating 360°. Ideal as ambient light or reading lamp, its emission of the light is adjustable in intensity and temperature – from warm to very warm, like the moon light! – thanks to the Warm Tone Dimming, activated through the optical sensor placed on one of the stems.
