Loud and robust, the round lamps of the Kah-du Collection appear to “be ‘breathing’ and give the impression of movement and depth, reminiscent of the Op Art movement of the 1960s,” says the description released by the Ilanel Design Studio based in Melbourne, Australia.

Hang a Kah-du Lamp by Ilanel Design Studio For the Ultimate in Strong, Modern Lighting

Based on a mathematical composition of a high-impact pattern, the perplexing angles that shroud the Kah-du’s figure captivate the attention of a residential or commercial space. Because Ilanel Design Studio, or i.d.s., makes each unit customized for each order, the precision is unmatched by mass-produced alternatives. Additionally, its sculptural elements declare a bold presence at the bottom of the slim, 3 m cord that hangs from the ceiling.

Ilanel Design Studio specializes in the design and production of bespoke lighting, producing other lamps with as much personality as the Kah-du lamps, which come in three sizes: 400 mm, 600 mm, and 800 mm. For an extreme, dramatic effect above a dining table or in the middle of a living room, this powder-coated wireframe with a French Gros Grain ribbon can be ordered in a variety of colors, from black as night to white as snow.

The ideals that Kah-du lamps live by also ring true to their design studio’s overall vision. On their website, they state, “Here, design is about experience – a philosophy that encompasses spatial relationships and the creation of touch points between people, artifacts and their evolving environments.”
