Boasting a simple aesthetic, pressure-turned steel envelops the suspended LED light in a smooth cylindrical form. Much like the wider w132 Nendo collection for Wastberg, the s2 pendant light conveys a modern geometrical expression with a pared-back silhouette. Ideally utilised above a dining table, living space or kitchen island, the cylindrical shade diffuses a delicate and warm glow, complemented by the soft tones of the black, white or blue finishes. Nendo's design embraces versatility in lighting with two connecting wires at the top and bottom of the shade.
Behind the Nendo trademark is Oki Sato, the Japanese designer born in Canada in 1977. Sato graduated in 2000 from Tokyo's Waseda University and went on to specialise in Architecture (2002). While still a student, in 2002, he won the Gold Medal at the Koizumi International Lighting Design show, in addition to many other awards.
Oki Sato founded Nendo Design Studio in 2002 and has since gone on to product contemporary designs for Cappellini, Foscarini, Wastberg and Louis Poulsen.
