Dyadic Float
Dyadic Float is a handcrafted porcelain light that is a fusion of traditional ceramic techniques, fine art and cordless design technology. Dyadic Float has an innovative cordless design, where the light hangs purely by suspension wire, creating a seamless and minimalist visual aesthetic.
As a back-to-back porcelain sheet box light, it incorporates the Kintsugi golden joinery technique, a process of repair, recycle and reuse which combats the environmental impacts of wastage. The blue/green side has broken due to friction that naturally occurs during the firing process, and the other red/orange remains intact.
Kintsugi repair technique restores what was a piece of trash into a functional light. The porcelain reveals a luminous, translucent ambient light that is both functional and ambient. The scars and cracks of the broken ceramic become the focus, transforming this light into one of a kind exquisite work of art, where the broken ceramic becomes entirely unique as glowing rivulets of gold.
