OE Quasi Light

by Olafur Eliasson

for Louis Poulsen

A shared belief that

‘good light = a good

life’ lay behind this

large pendant light,

made of two complex

geometric shapes,

one within the other.

The outer is a rigid

recycled aluminium

frame, whose vertices

house bright LED lights

that illuminate its

icosahedron-shaped

floating ‘core’.
