Bat pendant lamp by Made to Stay
Designed by Carsten Jörgensen
Upside down was designed in the years 2008 - 2009 by Carsten Jörgensen with the purpose of designing a simplistic lighting fixture that could be placed alone in a corner of a room or in clusters of three or more for a decorative and sculptural lighting effect whether in a domestic or a public space. The designer deliberately considered the shapes resemblance with a light bulb or a liquid drop. Seen in a frontal view it is looking like a 2 dimensional sheet of paper, but if the same shape was turned 180° upside down and rotated 90° around the centre axes the astonishing visual impact of double curved plans between the wires comes to deliver an equal astonishing light. The shape enhanced a visual dynamic effect when seen 45° to either the front or back as if it was screwing, either upwards or downwards. The naming of the lamp object became obvious!
