The name of the Trabant 2 Ceiling Lamp translates as “satellite”, as its shape and design are reminiscent of the moon. The fixture has won many awards for its unique design, such as the iF Product Design Award in 2008.
The designer's intention was to forego the mechanical compaction of the concrete in making of the lamp. Instead, the concrete is poured by hand and also compacted, so that the very smooth spherical surface is irregularly penetrated by blowholes and air pockets. This different, lively surface quality of the individual concrete bodies makes each one a unique luminaire.
A concrete ball hangs on a thin wire rope, on the underside of which a segment through a high-quality glass lens (matt or clear) with surprising, precise and almost lively - with his lights Joachim Manz creates haunting plays of light that dissolve the boundaries between form and space.
