Inspired by the boat building techniques of the industrial revolution, Big Dome brings the charm of early man-made technology to large-scale interior lighting design. We’ve stretched reflective aluminium composite over a frame like iron cladding found on the hull of a steam-powered Corvette. Rectangular pieces of aluminium are cut and placed like planks around a central pendant to create the shade. The lighting source comes from a large hanging globe which bounces expansive light off the reflective underside. The outer shade captures secondary light sources along it’s satin gold finish. Big Dome is a contemporary, romantic and robust lighting design and would fit high-ceilinged commercial interiors and atriums.
