Shape / Form / Function

Design is an art of storytelling according to the Copenhagen-based duo Iskos-Berlin, and their Dancing Pendant for Audo Copenhagen puts that principle into practice. Exquisite, yet with a playful twist, the expressive statement lamp takes its design cues from a dancer’s pleated skirt caught flaring up mid-twirl — an idea that grows and finds its final form, precise and orderly yet soft and fluid. The sustainable lamp is crafted in tactile polyester felt, a recyclable material made from used plastic bottles.
