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’.
