Caleidoscope by Frederike Top

Caleidoscope is a new lighting concept designed by Dutch designer Frederike Top. Its character lies in the contrast of simple construction, combined with the unexpected. The lamp’s façade appears plain at first, but deeper inspection reveals an array of faceted patterns and colour within its shell. The generated shapes reflect the same principles of a kaleidoscope.

Caleidoscope is constructed from stainless steel with a water based lacquer coating. Stainless steel is a long lasting material and is easily recyclable. Caleidoscope lamp is completely manufactured at just one location, keeping production and transport to a minimum.
