Smith­field S

The Smith­field S pendant lamp takes on an indus­trial and func­tional char­ac­ter that was inspired by Smith­field Market in the London. Designer Jasper Morri­son has master­fully rendered the indus­trial diffuser to reveal subtle curves at the top perime­ter which are quite visu­ally engag­ing within the scale of the fixture itself. The diffuser is composed of aluminum that has been enam­eled in a glossy black, black, white or mud gray finish. 

A simple opales­cent poly­car­bon­ate disc fits within the under­side of the Smith­field lamp’s diffuser. Smith­field S is suspended by a stain­less-steel cable that attaches to the ceiling with the addi­tion of a shallow hemi­spher­i­cal ceiling mount canopy. The elec­tri­cal cord loosely paral­lels the stain­less-steel cable creat­ing a wonder­fully fluid cascad­ing aesthetic – the sheer size of the fixture compared to the suspen­sion, and elec­tri­cal cables create the illu­sion that the diffuser is hover­ing within a space.
