Air So Pendant

When we started thinking about the concept of sustainable lighting produced in a way that respects the environment, we asked ourselves “What is green lighting”?
Energy consumption aside, we wanted to know what else could be done to turn down the dimmer switch on our planet – sparking our interest in conscious lighting. We have concluded that the definition of eco-friendly illumination is not necessarily a product or solution, but a set of qualities that enable lighting products to help reduce negative effects on nature. Overall, eco-friendly lighting has a reduced environmental impact, through properties such as energy efficiency, sustainable power source and materials.
The new AIR suspension light, conceived by Adam Tihany, combines a love of design with a solid ecological ethos. Featuring intricate laser cuts, a double emission light and a warm, inviting glow, you wouldn’t guess that this light is made of Green Cast. This is a 100% recycled and recyclable acrylic material produced with the utmost respect for primary resources, involving a significantly reduced amount of raw materials, and the re-use of what is considered waste.
The cream-coloured finishing is created during the generation process of the material Green Cast to reduce the environmental impact of the lacquering stage.
With AIR, Contardi makes a pledge to become an even greener company in the future, with a promise to drastically cut the waste of materials and damage to the Earth. We want our lamps to have a great impact on the world of design, and the smallest possible environmental footprint.
