Inspired by the classic lightbulb, Chipperfield drew from the iconic form to create the w202 Halo Pendant s3, looking to revive the everyday object with contemporary elements. Defined by the delicate circular shade resting upon the simple bulb, the pendant exudes a warm glow through the expertly crafted mouth-blown opal glass components. With an integrated COB LED, the pendant provides a warm white, dimmable light that ensures an energy-efficient and long-lasting light solution
Born in 1953 in London, Sir David Chipperfield later studied at the Kingston School of Art and the Architectural Association in London.
After graduating, he established his own architectural practice in the early 1980s and went on to receive a multitude of awards and titles. These included becoming an Honorary Member of the Florence Academy of Art and Design, a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) and receiving the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany.
One of his greatest successes was receiving the RIBA Royal Gold Medal for Architecture in 2011. Given in recognition of a lifetime’s work, the Royal Gold Medal is approved personally by Her Majesty the Queen.
