While Wästberg is a forward-thinking manufacturer of high-tech lighting, a pendant lamp is a very old concept. Therefore, developing a new pendant lamp that is relevant means bridging the past with the present. Firstly, w131 bell is a surprisingly small lamp. However, it still lights up well and is extremely versatile when it comes to usage. Secondly, sand-cast recycled aluminium is both beautiful and adds weight and a solid materiality to the shade, quite seldom found in small pendant lamps. We see the w131 bell as a great tool, as it works very well both at home and in public spaces. Both as a single pendant or in multiples, forming a cluster. In addition, it is available in 10 different standard colours.While Wästberg is a forward-thinking manufacturer of high-tech lighting, a pendant lamp is a very old concept.
