For Milan Design Week 2015 ateljé Lyktan invited eight architects, designers and craftsmen, as well as ateljé Lyktan’s own Atelier, to explore the Riff light engine and create their own unique pendant. The project, named Riff Relay, resulted in nine spectacular pendants which will be manufactured in a limited edition of ten each.
At the core of the new pendant Riff, designed by Olle Lundberg, is a light engine that easily can be used to create a myriad of different designs. The inspiration for the light engine came from the car industry and how different models and designs share the same platform. The original design of Riff comes in three different lamp shades, three sizes and two colours.
